it pains me to say that im the first person to write a decent definition for this great man.
------------
Joe Strummer (born John Grahm Mellor) was/is the vocalist for one of the most important bands in punk rock The Clash. With a leftist political view and a reggae influence, The Clash rose to the top. The Clash broke up in the late 1980's and Strummer went on to a solo career. In 1995 or so, Joe strummer signed onto Hellcat records with a backing band called The Mescaleros, releasing fourl albums before his death on December 22, 2002
The Fact that I am the first person to write a definition for Joe Strummer is crying shame. Frontman of the greatest punk band ever to play, The Clash, and later the lead singer of Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros, Joe Strummer, while widely regarded all over the world is still amazingly underrated. More influentual than John Lennon or any other musician, Joe Strummer is quite simply "God."
