R.I.P. Joe Strummer

Joe Strummer died yesterday of a heart attack at age 50. This is very depressing, he was a great songwriter, a very intelligent man, and still very young. In tribute to his passing, I’ve put up an mp3 of a live recording of The Clash performing “(White Man In) Hammersmith Palais” in New York City in 1981, so that any visitors who don’t understand the significance of this loss can hear the man perform one of his best tunes at his peak.
