Today is the 69th birthday of the singer, songwriter, actor, activist, and humanitarians that is quoted as saying “The future is unwritten” Joe Strummer. Picking a favorite The Clash song is impossible, listing them is lengthy, remembering them and listening to them is important. The trajectory of his life is beautiful. Angry punk to humanitarian. I love a life story where you can look at the beginning and the end and know he was active, productive, thoughtful, and worked through some shit. The world is a better place because he is in it and still feels the loss that he has left.
Opening Song: London Calling by The Clash
Closing Song: Rock the Casbah by The Clash
