I was there... Joe gave me a personal,invite... I'd worked on a bunch of his gigs,through the years, He'd rememberd me, from the early days... At 6 foot 6 inches,tall, I did stick out,I guess.. None like him EVER, in my 37 years as a roadie/stagehand,etc. took the time,after gig, on my birthday, to burn a big one, with me... One of the nicest PEOPLE I've met in my time on this planet..

I’m old and had a chance to see The Clash twice, in Pittsburgh and in Philadelphia. Very intense shows. Driving home from the Phila show, which was at the Spectrum and we’d sat straight out from the stage in the mezzanine - it’s a very big arena - my wife and I stopped trying to have a conversation in the car because our ears were ringing so much we couldn’t understand what the hell the other person was saying. (We’ve both recovered our hearing in the intervening 40 years) Peace and love to all. Don’t let the bastards grind you down.

Saw The Clash as a kid in London five times, best gigs of my life. Also blessed to see Joe and the Mescaleros at his last ever London gig when Mick joined him on stage for the encore. Few weeks later I land in LA to meet my family only to be told by my son Joe Strummer has died. Talk about ruining a holiday, devastated. RIP Joe, badly missed man.

Salut! "Without people you are nothing" Thanks to Joe Strummer, singer, guitarist, frontman of The Clash and above all free spirit. When I discovered music for myself and it started with punk rock and my first guitar in 1992 before the internet, it was inextricably linked with Joe and The Clash. He is an inspiration in his attitude, tolerance and feeling of injustice to this day. Thank you Joe without you I would probably not have discovered the freedom through music in such a way. Salut!

When punk happened and all us kids got into it, all my friends were into the Pistols and the Damned, but for me there was a band that topped the lot, The Clash. Strummer sang about change, about what was wrong with the shit we were in, not abstract stuff. The Clash weren't alone in that, but they did it better than anyone else. Here's to you Joe, when I found my cousin's Tommy Gun single it changed my life. Yeah you're to blame. :-)
