I also met Strummer many years afterwards.

My Strummer story...

I used to work for Whitbread. Doing maintenance on their pubs. Soon after they bought Costa, I was working in one of their coffee shops in Soho.
Long story short, there was a load of syringes and drug nonsense in the place I was working. Not best pleased I called the office, giving them death... "How dare you send me to a place like this. Fucking drugs everywhere. You bastards".

As I'm laying out to them, I notice a guy walking towards me across the street. Look up, giving him the 'stare'.

"Alright man? What's the problem? Take it easy"

Guy on the phone from our office asked what was going on...

"It's Joe Fucking Strummer. Shut up".

Wished me luck, and wandered off into Soho. A giant of a man.


Wow Gers, what a moment.

It really was. I've got goosebumps thinking about it now.

Magic moment - many thanks for sharing that.
So many favourite genius Clash lines to choose from, but this remains my favourite from the very first time I heard it in 78:
"You could have been a physicist, but now your name is on the mailbag list"

Rudie Can't Fail. My favourite Clash song.

If Adolf Hitler flew in today, they’d send a limousine anyway.

Probably my favourite song ever - not just Clash

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
And how we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here

Pink Floyd - Wish you were here

OFD

You’ve sold this one short, the whole lyrics are needed......

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

He was even more in awe when he met me.

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
