Idag er det tre år siden Joe Strummer døde.. Så jeg har vært super-mega fan-fan idag og tent lys og kun hørt på Strummer relatert musikk. Også har jeg gått litt amokk med alle disse bildene:-P Men jeg kan ikke noe for det, for meg er det hele nemlig ganske trist... Det er et band her i verden, og en mann som jeg er en slik corny over-fan av, nemlig The Clash og Joe Strummer. Så ja.. Egentlig tenkte jeg at jeg kunne fortelle dere alle (for det er jo så mange som leser dette) om denne fantastiske mannen, men jeg velger heller å slenge inn en del sitater, så kan dere jo gjøre opp deres egen mening, eventuelt riste oppgitt på hodet over hvor besatt jeg er:-p
"People can change anything they want to, and that means anything in the world. Show me any country and there will be people in it trying to bring humanity back into the center of the ring. Follow that for a time, ya know, really think on that. Without people, we're nothing"
"Im strange, actually, you know? Im kind of like one of those crazy people that picks up small and intereseting bits of wood and dosent want to let go of em. Or, you know, Im fascinated with the wrapper on a sardine can. A little cuckoo"
"I don't listen to any of that old talk,what makes life interesting is that this next second (snaps fingers) has never been lived before by anyone on earth!""when you meet people who say you had an effect on their life, you realize it was all worth it"
"...don't forget you're alive... You know sometimes when you walk around the city or when you yourself are in a bad mood, you can think hey wait a minute we're alive, you know? We don't know what the next second will bring and what a fantastic thing this is... And this can get easily forgotten in the routine of life and something I try to bring to my attention at all times. Don't forget that you're alive... that we're not dead... this is the greatest thing" - Joe Strummer.
