why does he look like a dad out on a hike in this?

[@tracydanneo]

It’s muddy in Glasto and he was dressed for it.

[@mariuspoppFM]

Because he literally was

[@MrGiorgioud]

Joe was such a loveable scruff. Must have been a reaction against the public school upbringing. Once, while on holiday in New York, the Clash guitarist Mick Jones decided to check out of the hotel he was saying and check into a better, swankier one. By coincidence, he bumped into Joe's best friend and violinist in his pre-Clash band the 101'ers, Tymon Dogg. So he filled him in: "I had to get out of the first hotel, Tymon. It was such a fucking shithole. But you and Joe would've loved it!"

Joe was a socialist/communist. Anti-materialism.

[@buckbumble]

Never seen this before. This is epic. Great to see Joe being himself, enjoying his life outside of the spotlight.

[@madridista89]

This is so interesting, you see his transformation from how everyone knew joe to mescaleros joe. Still looked quite good but his voice is very well on the way to how it was in '99.

Thé lads filming him I think were taking the P out of Joe… Joe didn’t let them… or have I misinterpreted ? Anyone
