John Graham Mellor AKA Joe Strummer (8/21/52 – 12/22/02)
for my new gallery "Telling Stories from the Grave"

Singing the classic Marley song in his gravelly style...



...no doubt the one I had in mind everytime I spiked my hair in a mohawk
to head out for music in the early 80s. Joe Strummer, was a British
musician, singer and songwriter who was the co-founder, lyricist, rhythm
guitarist and lead vocalist of the punk rock band The Clash formed in
1976 as part of the original wave of British punk. He died suddenly on
22 December 2002 in his home at Broomfield in Somerset, the victim of
an undiagnosed congenital heart defect.
