Joe Strummer is dead

At the Madness concert last night, the support act was a selection of classic pop videos projected onto a screen (possibly because it's difficult to bottle-off a projection). The Jam, Ian Dury, Blondie, Specials, The Clash ("London Calling").

For the first time, I finally "get" The Clash and enjoy the video immensely. Mick Jones wearing a nifty suit with buttonhole.

Get home to discover Joe Strummer is dead:
