In the meantime, a little music. I've been listening to a lot of old records that I haven't heard in quite a while: Lifetime, Crucifix, the Subhumans, and the first Mescaleros record, from which the following video is taken. If there's anyone in this world that I've never met, yet admired and been inspired by, it's Joe Strummer. I'm sorry as hell to have passed on the chance to see him play on his last couple of tours. At the time, I'd assumed that there would've been something kind of sad about seeing him years after the end of the Clash, but in hindsight it seems like he really came through all that with his spirit intact... "Well so long liberty/ let's forget you didn't show/ not in my time/ but in our sons' and daughters' time..."
