Today we celebrate the birth of Joe Strummer, the frontman of the greatest punk band ever and my second favorite band ever.
Here's a link to an article written by The Edge for Rolling Stone's feature on the 100 greatest bands/performers of all time on how the Clash influenced the work of U2.
I dedicate this post to Pete Townshend. I've always been really fascinated by the way his mind works, it's like he knows something the rest of us don't. Just so twisted and amazingly creative. There's a line in the movie "Almost Famous" that says: "I don't think anybody can really explain rock 'n' roll. Maybe Pete Townshend."
I apologize very profusely for my absence! The summer has just been so crazy! But no longer will I neglect the blog, so let's get on with things... PAUL MCCARTNEY HAD A BIRTHDAY ON JUNE 18TH. And I neglected to celebrate it, so HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to Sir. Paul McCartney!
