Yeah Yeah, Yeah Yeah

Joe Strummer died 12 years ago today. It's still the most shocking celebrity death for me. At least we knew Joey Ramone was sick, Joe just sat down on his couch and died. Billy Bragg:
"It's not just going to be people of my generation thinking of Joe," says Bragg, "but anybody who's ever picked up a guitar with the urge to change the world. We never go away. But something has gone now. A shining light has been snuffed out."
