Saw the Combat Rock tour in Saint Paul, Minnesota. There is a rumor that Bob Dylan was also at that show.


I was fortunate enough to see them on the same tour at the late Cape Cod Coliseum, a minor league hockey rink, temp
must have been 120 degrees.

Besides seeing him with the Pogues, once subbing for Mr. Chevron and once after taking over vocals for Shane, my
eternal thanks to my friend BF for winning Joe Strummer and the Mescalaros tickets in a radio contest. Great show-
at the Roxy in Boston, we noticed Dickie Barrett of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones standing next to us, like he was in heaven.

Did you know sauerkraut was re-branded "freedom cabbage" during WWI? Life is a fecking circle indeed.

Because of this thread today, and the not-always linear way my brain works, i shall always think of Freedom Fries & Cabbage now when i hear "Bhindi Bhagee" by Joe & the Mescaleros.

Probably his grandmother saw the Clash!

Whether or not she would have spent all her money on tickets and albums I wouldn't be able to tell, but it is conceivable seeing the Clash so impoverished her that she postponed procreation... and as a result sort of sold her grandson for the Clash. :wink:

in the booklet of "From here to eternity", the Clash posthumous live album, there's comments of fans that have seen them live.

Redmption Song: The Ballad of Joe Strummer

Post by Clash Cadillac Tue Aug 21, 2007 10:50 pm

At present, I am reading Redemption Song: The Ballad of Joe Strummer by Chris Salewicz. Even though I have been reading this book for about 2 months now, I am only to the part where Joe is playing with the 101ers. By the time I get to bed and start reading it is so late I only get through about 5-10 pages before the sandman calls. I must say I am really enjoying this book. I saw Joe with the Clash and am kicking myself for not going to see the Mescaleros. I had good intentions but thought I had plenty of time to catch a show. Who knew... I am not making the same mistake with the Pogues and will continue to catch a show on each coast for as long as the magic lasts.


Happy Birthday Joe
