Joe Strummer and Shane

It's well-documented that Shane was a pre-Pogues/NIPS fan of the Clash.....

-- photographed front row at their show , etc. -

fastward----

you got Joe at town & Country, Straight to Hell, Hells Ditch, replacing Shane, ect., ----

yet, early Shane famously photographed at Clash gigs never seems to be mentioned in any proper Pogues writings.

Why is that?

maybe neither ever cared that much

Shane use to go see Joe play - before Shane was "famous"

I'm curious if/how that ever entered into the dynamtics of their relationship.

I mean, you always hear how Joe was such a Pogues fan.

Fair enough.

But, long before Joe was a Pogues fan, Shane was a Joe fan.

Was Shane intimidated, inspired, embarrassed, competitive, inappeasable, etc? during Hell's Ditch????

I think I have a T-shirt like that somewhere. Unfortunately, the fabric is too hard and scratchy to wear, so maybe, if I find it, I'll hang it up on my studio wall.
