JOE STRUMMER AND THE MESCALEROS - JOHNNY APPLESEED

[@sergiocerutti1099]

Great song, RIP in peace Joe we miss you

[@Shikta-poobah67]

I had the absolute honor and privilege of meeting and hanging out with Joe, Tymon, and the rest of the Mescaleros in October ‘01 when they played at the Cajun House in Scottsdale AZ… and I can honestly say that was one of the most special moments of my entire life. One of those rare occasions when everything makes sense and you feel as though you could die happy in the moment. I have met some of my heroes before and been severely disappointed, but with Joe I had the opposite experience. He exceeded my already very high expectations. I could sit here and type all day about that night, but I’d likely wind up with carpal tunnel before I could even begin to scratch the surface. Joe was a one of a kind. A real gift to the world. He left us with some great life lessons and even though he’s been gone for over 20 years now, his legacy will always live on.

[@Some.Might.Say.0601]

ジョーストラマーが大好きです。この曲のこともとっても好きで、いつも聴くたびになんだか泣きそうな気持ちになるし、勇気をくれます。ありがとう🎀

[@Psilolysergicamine]

This song gets me emotional to the point I almost tear up and I feel it swelling inside me idk what it is but I sure as hell wish Joe were still here. We need more people like him in this world, especially in these times.

[@juleetravers]

Psilolysergicamine YOU SAID IT. Spot on. Thank you.

[@agramsci]

If you're out to get the honey, you don't go killin all the bees. We will rise up.

[@mickey1271]

Agreed

[@midcitysk8]

I feel the same way.

[@ashe984]

Psilolysergicamine he never dies

[@ctcollinthib]

'If you're after gettin' the honey, then you don't go killin' all the bees' might be the most punk lines Joe Strummer ever sang.

[@lejlatiric7037]

True!

[@TheHeartKills]

I feel fully comfortable professing that I absolutely love this man. They say never meet your idols. You'll be disappointed. In this case I can scarcely believe that to be true. That pesky hard to find soul must exist, Joe. Because your voice, your words, and your music have touched my soul and millions of others. I can't thank you enough for everything.

[@KHW1957]

Werewolf Blitzer I can tell you from experience you would not have been disappointed.

[@tuffgonggbUNCTION]

SOULJAH

[@Shikta-poobah67]

I met him in October ‘01, and I can say without hesitation that he *FAR* exceeded my expectations, which were already very high. I look back on that night as one of the greatest and most special moments of my entire life. You’re absolutely right about meeting your heroes, and how often times it’s a major let down, but with Joe I definitely had the opposite experience.

[@stewajf]

Besides the music, the best thing about Joe Strummer is his great humanity. It comes through in all his songs and videos.

[@joeonthecoast3586]

Still a missed man. The joy, angst and perseverance underpinning this number is so Joe. Never a milestone but always a destination. The journey is the thing - and what a trip he gave us.

[@774CISCO]

I am so happy I saw Joe Strummer live. It is a show I will never forget. He was so cool, so humble.

Saw him 3 times, as you say, so glad I seen him, some of the most memorable nights of my life. Miss you Joe Thanks Joe x 👏

"Notice how the door closes when the chimes of freedom ring." -J. Strummer True dat!

[@qxqp]

Lyrics Lord, there goes Johnny Appleseed He might pass by in the hour of need There's a lot of souls Ain't drinking from no well locked in a factory Hey, look there goes Hey, look there goes If you're after getting the honey, hey Then you don't go killing all the bees Lord, there goes Martin Luther King Notice how the door closes when the chimes of freedom ring I hear what you're saying, I hear what he's saying Is what was true now no longer so Hey, I hear what you're saying Hey, I hear what he's saying If you're after getting the honey, hey Then you don't go killing all the bees What the people are saying And we know every road, go go What the people are saying There ain't no berries on the trees Let the summertime sun Fall on the apple, fall on the apple Lord, there goes a Buick forty-nine Black sheep of the angels riding, riding down the line We think there is a soul, we don't know That soul is hard to find Hey, down along the road Hey, down along the road If you're after getting the honey Then you don't go killing all the bees Hey, it's what the people are saying It's what the people are saying Hey, there ain't no berries on the trees Hey, that's what the people are saying, no berries on the trees

[@BF-uh4rz]

This song saved me! Love you all!

[@jimsmith427]

Lyrics so relevant to now. So many bees…too much honey…? Joe said it first. An amazing songwriter, musician, poet and more … sadly just one of the bees….RIP

I know Sandinista gets a lot of flack....but I think it’s The Clash best record....It’s 38 years old and I’m still mesmerised and confused by it...Surely that’s what great art should be..

[@JohnDoe-kd2oq]

Rebel waltz. Lose this skin

[@andrewrobie620]

So interestingly, it seems like the opinion on this is coming around. More and more people I meet love the record. Most of the ones I've met who don't are ones who like the Clash's earlier work but didn't give it time to digest. My, and some other people I've talked to's, view on it is that it's just so much that it's a bit overwhelming, and so different than their previous stuff, so people write it off, but everyone I've met who has really given it a chance freaking loves it, like on par with or better than LC. But yeah, it's a freaking awesome album. Then again, every single one of the Clash's albums is worthwhile in my eyes (I don't count Cut the Crap personally, but I can't fault those who do).

[@dank8865]

Truly, One of the most beautiful heart warming songs, He'll Always be a driving force in my soul. Never even really knew who he was besides hearin this song on Chom in Montreal.

[@jefftatarian4576]

Perhaps the most meaningful Rock lyric ever written "After getting the honey, then why do u have to kill all the bees" JS realized that the world might be a better place, if enough people just even thought about that for a few fleeting seconds. RIP Joe Your wisdom lives on 4 generation's!!

[@KarlitospunkOi]

Joe Strummer in hearth for ever.

[@kevanbrown7620]

I was born in the late '60s so when the punk and new wave explosion happened I had all the original Clash and Sex Pistols albums and singles. I don't know what happened to them, but I know some of the Pistols singles are worth money now. I think Joe Strummer and Mick Jones are one of the great songwriting partnership's. Like the greatest obviously Lennon and McCartney, Jagger and Richards, Strummer and Jones, Morrissey and Marr from the Smiths who were the best band of the '80s for me. You had all this Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Culture Club shite. Style before substance. Then thank God the Smiths came along and made some brilliant singles and albums. Johnny Marr's excellent guitar lines and Morrissey's lyrics made for songs that People like myself could relate to. I believe Johnny Marr is one of the all time great guitarist's. I'm not putting him up there with the unbelievable Jimmy Hendrix, but he is an amazing guitarist. How Soon Is Now is just amazing because of what Johnny Marr's doing with his guitar. Also Ian Brown and John Squire of the Stone Roses. The clash made some excellent tracks. London Calling is one of the all time greatest singles. White Man In Hammersmith Palais is another classic. Janine Jones, Clash City Rockers, Bankrobber, Police and Thieves, Stay Free, I Fought the Law, Straight To Hell, Hateful, Rudie Can't Fail, and I love Burnin' Streets. Joe Strummer is a legend. Gone too soon.

Joe Strummer’s resounding positive motivation through music and message in the world is immeasurable and more so after death. Joes songs are scripture that will somehow save the world from the current inflicted global negative zeitgeist we are for the last 20 years and currently enduring more so than ever. “Without people you’re nothing.” Joe ✌️❤️

[@Delilah70]

When I finished listening to Joe's cover of Redemption Song (this time) it occurred to me that the songs message is just as descriptive of Joe's writing as it is of Bob Marley. Finally got it. Amazing moment,*!
