Joe Strummer And The Mescaleros - Johnny Appleseed

[@khary9]

Ditto sk8...Here I am a black thirtysomething AfroCaribbean dude in Miami FL and I feel the same way you do. Ever since I heard this song, it has done something to me. I usually listen to roots, rap or reggae, very little rock but this song has reopened the genre to me. And I was even more moved and impressed when I researched the song and its artist. Normally I don't write things online but felt compelled to express and add on to the greatness of this song. PEACE

[@MiaSays]

"Lord there goes Martin Luther King, notice how the door closes when the chimes of freedom ring", one of my absolute favorite lyrics ever. Thanks for posting this.

[@mary5827]

Re-watching John from Cincinnati and remember how much I loved this song! We have this album on vinyl. Time to dust it off and play it.

[@kentonadler]

Pure dead brilliant. Transcends genre. It just makes me happy to hear it. And the perfect intro to John From Cincinnati.

[@LCHLLO2008]

[@joeforloan]

Miss you so very much, Joe. I was there in Hong Kong seeing you and the gang on stage. I was there in Toronto, too. I love you still after all these years.

[@patriciaconroy778]

[@Spraycando]

[@nikkicrabtree2173]

Thanks! Loved Joe and love this song.

[@moonlightlady108]

I listen to this every day, just to get my wise and happy fix. Makes my day each time.

[@MiDgEtTuRd]

This is my favorite song of ALL TIME ! Thank you for posting that.......I had never seen it before either. All of Joe's solo album's are friggin' priceless. Not one song on each album is even close to being a bad one or filler. He never wasted his breath. No one in modern music can even almost compare to this man. G E N I U S

[@100geemo78]

Luv u Joe. Missin' u more than ever !!!

[@ashe984]

[@kirkwallboy]

wonderful, wonderful, and well, he should still be among us all

[@veerocks]

The fact that Joe Strummer loved America so much makes me love my country that much more. I don't think he ever really was bored with the U.S.A.

[@gordazacatitos]

Love Joe Strummer. No one like him. And there will never be another like him.

[@ashe984]

I love Joe always he isn't truly gone ever.

[@blades92]

He was still writing great songs 20 years after fronting the greatest English band ever

[@dkm508]

God i wish i got to see him before he passed...... definitely a day I remember where i was when i heard much like 9-11. One of my favorite songs he ever made!!! "off to get the honey don't go killing all the bees....no berries on the trees" soooo deep and so true

[@bigboredthing]

[@KristiNoGood]

I love this song. I just put it on, sit back, and relax.

[@LouisetheLithead]

What a great loss :( At least Joe loved what he was doing, and shared the love with the world.

[@michelle8cd4u]

Glad I was able to see his last 2 performances in San Francisco!

[@germany10]

Joe and his Mescaleros are underrated. They're great!

[@fletchbhoy]

nothing will ever come close. Pure magic

[@Rick_Nonatiu]

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.... Go Joe!!!!

[@ASTRUBAL1334]

If he can heal your soul too,, is because he was and still being a Gurú, God bless you

[@redjaguar2]

Joe had such a distinct, and interesting voice--there'll be no replacing Joe...

[@EdNortonisMineLol]

You're my hero, Joe

[@twisteddane]

Always the good guys first. The best in this case!

[@kasmirz]

The double harvest. The honey and the fruit of the trees. The seeds are planted. To our childrens childrens childrens.

[@oaxakitajux]

Joe Forever!!!

[@lastruluv]

I couldn't agree more.

[@MonkeyGoneToHeaven91]

Joe we miss you so much...

[@jodi183]

He passed away on this day, Dec 22 a few years back. RIP Joe!

[@dons4europe]

R.I.P. JOE.... A decent guy by all accounts.... You were always a highlander....

[@Raymantico]

Joe, Joe, miss you so.

[@ivebingedrinking]

R.I.P The greatest man who lived

[@jjdebaca]

Can you imagine the total awsomeness the guys he trained & taught must've felt?

[@crashatollah]

Joe Strummer is my own personal hero. The Clash got me through my teenage years unscathed. I never could've made it without them and without everything Joe declared them to stand for. The movie Rudeboy threw me back a little but over the years Joe earned so much trust and respect from me and his music with the Mescaleros was fantastic. My children will be named after him.

[@emilianoortega-guerrero2925]

rock and roll yeah

[@flamingphil123]

I love John from Cincinatti

[@charliedelbuono9074]

Strummer fa bene al cuore

[@jpefarfarana]

Salve Mr. Strummer.

[@iansk8er]

Joe Strummer may he RIP.

[@JRoN1Mo]

His biography is so sad. I read it about 4 years ago and after the re-union show with Mick Jones there were real contemplative efforts to make a Clash reunion happen. The only concern they had was for Topper to stay clean. No-one expected the blindside of Joe's death that December. RIP Mr. Mellor

[@ashe984]

Joe lives on

[@MarktheMark31]

RIP Joe, wish you were still here to make some REAL music

[@brownieboy888]

the mescaleros will never be the clash and thats not what they're aiming for the aim is to make music that is purely from the soul of joe strummer and god knows thats what the world needs

[@grizzwaldo]

Pure "peeple music" Ta Joe.

[@clapton1958]

I think Joe loved that the American people were/are so friendly, what he was bored with was the whole American scene dominating the music market. And probably the whole Cold War thing.

[@MidnightJammer]

Great song. They're just as relevant and strangely beautiful as the Clash tunes.

[@ConorB008]

It's no wonder Bieber counts Strummer as one of his chief influences, you can really tell by the subtlety in the songwriting of the two men.

[@812DirtyJ]

ha ha ha

[@cheeseboy777]

Now THAT'S entertainment

[@su79nioj]

'If you're after getting the honey then you don't go killing all the bees.' Learn2Strummer.

[@khary9]

No doubt...this tune has a West/Central African vibe especially as the chorus comes in...its almost like a "call and response" tune from Nigeria or uptempo bluesy track from Louisiana. I could hear Femi Kuti singing over the same music...I dunno, great song though

[@luciferHam101]

Oh fuck yea, this song is amazing. "If you're out to get the honey, Then ya dont go killing the bees" A true punk prophet.

[@punkrobm]

no one matches joe - no one ever will RIP

[@bladesmark2]

loving the guy in the sheffield united shirt 1:10 lol

[@niceguyspools]

I wonder how many of the passersby in the video (if any) knew what a legend was performing as they walked by...

[@ulysses1904]

Excellent. I was a huge Strummer fan through Earthquake Weather. Then I stopped listening. This will make me buy all the Mescalero stuff. I'm a musician and I learned about chord changes and song structures from the Beatles. Then I heard Strummer and the Clash and he put the energy and beat into my music.

[@ashe984]

I am always a huge Joe Strummer fan I love him the music and Joe's voice.

[@avatar723]

"...then you don't go Killin' all the bees ..."

[@MelodramaticFool21]

@Berenueve Good one!

[@davidgrahamscott]

i was once a pistolero

[@OrangeFuzz123]

Definitely miss Joe's presence. There's never a good time for a heart attack, although during a game of charades would be a bummer.

[@bsaeg77]

♥ :)

[@mfeltes]

The fact that such film even exists is the problem, not the fact that the film was shown.

[@benelevate]

Where did they film this video? What part of London, what bar etc?

[@DavySolaris]

it's a documentary about his life, not a biopic. but it' very good, and on KZbin in 11 parts. just type "the future is unwritten" into search and you should find it. good shite.

[@jermistheword]

can anyone tell me the brand and model of the guitar that joe is playing in this video?

[@clapton1958]

Wasn't that called "The Future Is Unwritten"? And I thought it was supposed to be actual footage of him throughout his career and everything, with bits on Paul, Mick and Topper ... I don't know, I haven't had the fortune to see it. I want to though.

[@Thumbing699]

i was once in the army :(

[@1DumBunny]

Apple seeds, and thoughts, and beliefs and bees. Common sense is more powerful than any god. VOTE for what is right for YOU!

[@Matty73]

@agingerbeard true nuff.

[@ulysses1904]

P.S. Anyone have a take on what this song is about?

[@MENSFORTHHILL99]

A man who was taken in by Bernie Rhodes and regretted it.

[@bluntslide73]

"PUNK-ROCK WARLORD"

[@mikey777666]

post the lyrics!

[@jamesaucutt]

I reckon that by bees he mean iraq and iran and by honey he means oil? What a man though, amazing guy.

[@JonatanBurnett]

I love Joe Strummer and this song, but that joke is so old.

[@btklamf]

god has no bees

[@nailersrule]

hmm 60's garage surf music had a decidly african influence

[@villadavid4ever]

@Berenueve I'm pretty sure Joe Strummer knows how to speak English. It's send, not sent.
