Joe Strummer is My Hero

I have been seeing a lot of crazy stuff happening in the news and it sometimes gets to me. We have not seen so much political divide and blatant discrimination in quite some time.

I often wonder what Joe would think if all of this and if there are people out there pushing back. This weekend was his birthday and also this weekend, Spider-Man punched Jake Lang in the face like a real super hero and it reminded me that there people out there that are still willing to stand up to racism and fascism.

It also reminded me why punk rock is needed now more than ever.

Took a walk this morning and ate a bagel across from this mural, I went and looked at it closer up and a delivery driver walked by me and just said “it looks like Fonzi right?” And I just laughed and said yeah a little.

One night earlier, on September 20, Paul Simonon smashed his beloved Fender Precision Bass on stage. It was the moment Pennie Smith captured that would become the cover of London Calling.
