Departed 15 years ago today ..
Part of the great band in the sky
Deserves to be considered as one of the most influential musicians of his generation imho. The work his foundation had done since his passing is impressive. Even more impressive is that he survived living in Newport for an extended period.
Just played White Man on full volume.
I’m hugely biased but his (and The Clash’s) influence on the majority of music I’ve listened to and loved for the last 40 years is unsurpassable.
He may (as many others ) have been influenced by Woody Guthrie, but his legacy for me is more powerful.
A true legend
the clash (a great band) inspired a lot of bands that came after
About 20 years ago I lived in Monmouth and one afternoon went into the Robin Hood Pub and Joe Strummer and Shane MacGowan were having a break from recording at Rockfield Studios and were on the piss, some afternoon that was.
One of my faves left us just over a year earlier...........
