Joe Strummer Lives

Worlds colliding: Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen opened his show in Pittsburgh two nights ago with The Clash's Clampdown.

A few years ago Bruce opened a show with Joe Strummer's Coma Girl:
In the mid-90s, Strummer was asked for his thoughts on Springsteen for a TV project. The answer came in the form of the fax revealed here: "Bruce is great ... if you don't agree with that, you're a pretentious Martian from Venus"! The respect was mutual; Springsteen was quick to pay tribute when Strummer died in December 2002 , describing him as "one of the greatest rockers of all time" .
