Born John Graham Mellor on August 21, 1952 in Turkey.
He gave himself the name Joe Strummer because although he was left handed, he learned to play guitar on a right handed guitar, therefor he could only do the strumming chords.
Pre-1977, Joe was in bands such as The Vultures and The 101ers.
However, he is best known for his work in the punk rock band, The Clash. He wrote most of the lyrics, and shared vocal duties with co-band member Mick Jones. The Clash lasted from 1977 to 1985. They released several great records, most notably "London Calling".
In 1995, Joe signed onto Hellcat records with his group, Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros.
Joe died on December 22, 2002 of heart complications.
In my opinion Joe is one of the greatest musicians of all-time, and was a really great guy. RIP Joe

Get the scrum mug.An idea scrum was first developed along with the many other bullshit MBA and business school words that 20 somethings begin to use after paying thousands of dollars to complete a waste of time MBA. "Idea scrumming" however first became prevalent at the School of Jibber in Battlerville late in the piece.
An idea scrum is a figure of speech to describe "putting it to the team" or the fierce debate amongst teams members on a certain topic or attempting to win over an arguement. It is based upon the scrum in rugby union or rugby league.
In an idea scrum, the hooker (manager) places the ball (idea/topic for debate) into the scrum (the various team members) who attempt to win possession (fiercely debate the topic and try to persuade the other team members) before the ball is won (a resolution is met)
