Merry Christmas and a small question...
by Alain Raymond 24 Dec '02

Hello, first of all Merry Christmas to everyone (especially Latinamericans if there's one)!!. My question is simple. Since I've just started to listen to The Police (I liked it, but I didn't know it was The Police), I don't know if they ever made a video for "So lonely". I think I recall seeing it but I'm not sure. I've found the other videos like "Message in a Bottle", "Every breath you take", "Roxanne", "Every little thing she does is magic" and "Wrapped around your finger". Could you tell me if I've been missing out on any other videos? Thanks in advance. See you. _________________________________________________________________ MSN.

I can't believe it either. My husband told me when I woke up this morning and it's been on my mind all day. Very sad news. One of the things I was really looking forward to IF i were to get into the RRHofF was seeing him. Behind the Police, the Clash was my #2 favorite. Michelle

Joe Strummer Is Dead

I can't believe this. Less than 3 months before the HOF induction. I'm totally at a loss for words. Shock. Joe Strummer is dead - What a sick sentence. Time for depression to set in. <A HREF="http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGABIRJC2AD.html">Punk Legend Joe Strummer Dead Aged 50 - from Tampa Bay Online</A> LONDON (AP) - Joe Strummer, lead singer of the legendary British punk band The Clash, has died, his record company said Monday. He was 50. Strummer, who was the band's guitarist, vocalist and songwriter alongside Mick Jones, died on Sunday. The British Broadcasting Corp. quoted The Clash's video director Don Letts as saying Strummer died of a heart attack. A statement released by his record label said Strummer "died peacefully at his home" in Broomfield in the southern county of Somerset. It added that Strummer's wife Lucy, two daughters and stepdaughter "request privacy at this harrowing time." Hein van der Rey, managing director of Epitaph Records, which had produced two albums for Strummer's latest band, The Mescaleros, said he learned of the death Monday morning. "We do not know the circumstances. It is pretty devastating news," he said. He said Strummer, who was born John Mellor, had been working on a third album with The Mescaleros. Strummer's death was announced on his official Web site. "Joe Strummer died yesterday," said the simple statement. "Our condolences to Luce and the kids, family and friends." Strummer was born in Ankara, Turkey, the son of a British diplomat. "The Clash" were known for injecting left wing politics into punk. Their album "London Calling" was named the best album of the 1980s by Rolling Stone magazine, despite being released in 1979. Between 1977 and 1982 Strummer and Jones composed, performed and recorded dozens of songs, using musical ideas from reggae and rockabilly as well as punk. With Jones's crisp guitar playing and Strummer's staccato, Cockney voice, the band, which also included Keith Levene, Paul Simonon, Terry Chimes Nicky "Topper" Headon, was hugely popular and gave electrifying stage performances. "Their music is primitive and aggressive," reported the Illustrated Encyclopedia of Rock, "but the chemistry is combustible. On stage they are a complete audiovisual experience, driven forward on a wave of passion and pure energy." In 1980, a fight erupted during a concert in Hamburg, Germany and Strummer was arrested after hitting a fan with his guitar. In 1982, he disappeared for three weeks, forcing the band to cancel their tour of the United Kingdom. Strummer later explained that he had doubts about his career, so he went to Paris and had been "living like a bum." The band signed with CBS Records for $200,000, and their first album "Clash," was released in the United Kingdom in 1977. The record company considered the album too crude for U.S. release, however. It wasn't until 1979 that a compilation album would be released as "The Clash" in America. The band split in the early 1980s after a dispute between Strummer and Jones, who subsequently formed the group Big Audio Dynamite (BAD). Strummer recently collaborated with Bono of U2 and Dave Stewart of The Eurythmics to write a song in honor of former South African President Nelson Mandela. Titled "48864," Mandela's number in prison, the song is to be played at a Feb. 2 AIDS benefit concert Mandela is sponsoring at his former prison on Robben Island. --- On the Net: Joe Strummer site: www.strummersite.com
