As ridiculous as it sounds, I still find it strange that Joe Strummer's dead.
My kids and I went off an a walkabout through the East Village yesterday, and paid our respects (although they mostly only know the man as the gent responsible for daddy's ringtone).
The Joe Strummer mural -- now a fixture of an otherwise contsantly changing neighborhood -- has undergone several alterations over the past twelve years. I did a little tribute of my own to it, but check out this page on Flickr for a righteous collection of images.
Here, meanwhile, is one of the great man's last live appearances in New York City at the Roseland Ballroom (which is also no longer with us)...
