The Ballad of Joe Strummer by Chris Salewicz
“Authority is supposedly grounded in wisdom, but I could see from a very early age that authority was only a system of control and it didn’t have any inherent wisdom. I quickly realised that you either became a power or you were crushed.”-Joe Strummer
Daily Diversion #224: Elvis is in the Building
When I’m not writing, I’m being serenaded by dead rock stars! Jealous much?
Elvis came back from the dead/out of hiding (depending on your viewpoint) and dedicated “Suspicious Minds” to me.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Strummer!
Joe Strummer would have been 62 today!
He’s one of the reasons that I am a decent person.
He is missed.

Happy birthday to me!
