Is The Clash my favorite band of all time? Maybe. There's too much to recount here, but over the course of the band's career they took the best of the punk spirit/ethos and built on those values to become one of the most versatile and volatile rock bands anyone has ever stomped their boots, raised their fist or fallen in love to.
I'm a singer/songwriter in Nashville, TN, and I'm a maniac for The Clash and their frontman, Joe Strummer. Today is Joe's birthday and the Joe Strummer estate and Dark Horse Records teamed up to remember the late great rocker by gathering Joe's friends from all over the world. Check out this video full of great music and great memories. And find out how you can support Save our Stages, a organization that's raising money to preserve independent music venues like those we treasure here in Nashville, TN and that you might have in your home town as well.
Keep the music alive. The future is unwritten. Happy Birthday, Joe...
