hope this benevolent Ba'ing and picturesque Shost'ing hasn't some sly ulterior motive. like, making the imminent "surprise" entrance of Sid-the-Sod ever more "crashing"?

Kurt Cobain.
Country Dick Montana.
Bob Stinson.
Ronnie Van Zandt.
Keith Moon.
Cliff Burton.
D. Boon. (even though I'm nobody's definition of a Minutemen fan, I know nothing but good would have come from him being alive today)

― Joe (Joe), Tuesday, 24 December 2002 15:08 (twenty-three years ago)

sterling morrison. i wore black for a week when he died. (ok, this isn't hard if you're a velvets fan.) and then someone asked me if i was in mourning for "jerry" and i got really upset.

I desperately wish Chris Bell had survived the car accident. One album worth of solo material is not enough.

― zaxxon25 (zaxxon25), Tuesday, 24 December 2002 16:55 (twenty-three years ago)

did joe really die of a heart attack? maybe he was planning to play a rally or something. (remember lennon was to play an anti-re-elect-reagan rally in FLa. and was offed)

― jameslucas, Tuesday, 24 December 2002 19:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Are you suggesting that there might've been a conspiracy to kill Joe Strummer?

Too much Egg Nog for you, young man.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 24 December 2002 19:08 (twenty-three years ago)

well, here on the left coast all is subject to hyperbole, but at my age, i've seen it all.

― jameslucas, Tuesday, 24 December 2002 19:13 (twenty-three years ago)

Lennon died only a month after Reagan was elected in the first place, so it was a bit soon for an anti-reelection rally, wasn't it?

Anyway, you can rest easy, I doubt Bush even knows who Joe Strummer is.

― Justyn Dillingham (Justyn Dillingham), Tuesday, 24 December 2002 19:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Anyway, you can rest easy, I doubt Bush even knows who Joe Strummer is.

Bush is a Television fan, so it's not out of the realms of possibility that he knows who Strummer was.

Bush is a Television fan? Where did you hear this? (Respect... rising.... remembering music played at his inauguration... respect... falling...)

Here's the proof. (You'll have to scroll sideways to see all of it; the formatting's a bit off.)

I'd like to see the orig. article for proof.
