A couple of weeks ago I wrote about how Joe Strummer left The 101ers — the pub rock band he started with fellow squatters in London — in late May 1976 to join the punk rock revolution by forming The Clash with Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, Topper Headon, and a guitarist named Keith Levene.
Great article. The world lost its morale compass when it lost Joe Strummer. He died far too young.
