I don't know why, but I've had Joe Strummer on the brain lately; I keep vacillating as to whether the Clash's never having reformed was a good thing or not. (I think that they could have had a great deal to validly say about the last several years; that said, if they'd become a Sex Pistols-style oldies act, I would probably have thrown myself to the fire ants.)

Also, I'm utterly embarrassed as to how many times I'd seen Grosse Pointe Blank, before I realized who scored it. (The assassination during the opening credits *does* tend to distract me, as such things will do.)

Also also, there's a Joe Strummer mural on 7th and A; highly recommended, should you ever make it out this way.
