World service bulletin from the nightshift D.J.
To all wavebands on earth
Reconnoitre on the killahertz

This tune is going out to Marconi
To all corners of the globe
There ain't no hut in the Serengeti
Where my wavelengths do not probe

If a rocket went to Saturn
We sure hope a D.J. is on board
For some anti-gravity mixing
With two dub plates of U-Roy

Throwdown Stray Cat strut in Bulawayo - hey, Bulawayo
Buddy Rich in Burundi
Quadrophenia in Armenia
Armenia City In The Sky
Big Youth booming in Djkarta
Nina Simone over Sierra Leone
Wild sound of Joujouka in Nevada - hey, Joujouka
Everywhere, everywhere Bob's bringing it all back home

Yeah, I let the boogie-woogie rumble
In the back of Bangalore
I get complaints from Bondi Beach
What, no longboard surf hardcore?
Oh, send the rock steady out to Freddy
Who juggles plates in Tsing Tao City

'Cause tonight Bo Diddley's in Finland Station - hey, Bo Diddley
Sun Ra's in Omaha
The Skatalites in New York City - hey, Skatalites
The Stooges rule over Habana
The Bhundu Boys rock Acapulco - hey, hey Bhundu Boys
Good hip hop in Islamabad
Ali Farke Toure's in Oaxaca - hey, Farke Toure
And Baaba Maal's all over Stalingrad

Yeah, while some are waking, some are sleeping
From Kamchatka to the Gabon
Above the tradewind, wingtips beating
We calling out for Ronnie and da-do Ron, Ron, Ron

We call the Cumbria to tumble
From the peak of the Himalayas
We send the funk into the jungle
To the last outpost of the bass player

I guess this beats arriving at the Fifth Station on Mt. Fuji, a site with all the accoutrements  of modern Japanese modern culture, and hearing piped over the ubiquitous public loudspeakers, was Creedence Clearwater's, I put a Spell on You (yes, SJ Hawkins). It seemed so odd, yet so characteristically Japanese. I miss the strangeness yet familiarity of the culture.

 The Pistols very quickly became idiotic, I'll give you that, but for a brief moment in time they gave us some of the most powerful music known to man. Matlock and Lydon had plenty of talent. Cook and Jones.. average for a punk band. Viscious.. yes, idiotic! It's not their fault if you didn't get it. Great production, great songs, and the musicianship, well, it was, err, adequate.

If you are a fan of punk, you would know that the Crass always called out he Clash for being main stream!

I saw the Clash in 1980 at the Santa Monica Civic in LA and it changed my musical direction forever. I was a main stream, stadium rocker, saw all the classics;  Who, Stones, Styx, Pink Floyd, Queen, Journey etc. The Clash opened with a Solo Reggae performer , who wasn't well received , then another ska band, which may have been the Beat. The Clash rocked my world, sent me in to the clubs of Hollywood, searching out punk, reggae, rockabilly, everything. It was a good time for music for me! Like someone else mentioned, I didn't follow Joe as closely after the Clash break up as I did Mick Jones but his music continues to grow on me. Thank you sir!

I was lucky enough to see The Clash at their peak in the late 1970's and standing there in the front row looking right up at Joe Strummer I was struck at how bright his eyes were.

Not the 'piercing blue' that some people have - no they were a light brown but just as intense.

He was the 'real deal' - not just a singer frontman like John Lydon of the Sex Pistols -  more like a punk version of Bruce Springsteen singing and playing the guitar.

You are sorely missed Joe but thanks for the memories.

And because it's Christmas, it's also a good time to remember Joe Strummer (21 August 1952 - 22 December 2002), and even when it's not Christmas, it's still always a good time, right?

Posted 11 years ago by snap_dragon    [ Reply ]
I was compelled to move to a 9. This songs gets better with time. Especially when cranked. I think that much of his post-Clash work was really innovative and I appreciate that RP plays so much Joe Strummer.

Arf! :-D Actually, I always thought it was anarchists made better artists as they're less hidebound, but wtf, I'm not proud. Quite a coincidence as I was just listening to Rock The Casbah, so this made an excellent unintentional segue.

It was an awful loss yer man Strummer croaking early. It brought a lump to my throat a few years back when walking on Skye I came across a newly-planted wood, at the entrance of which was a sign dedicating it to Joe Strummer's memory.
