I was just listening to The Clash and realized that it's been 9 years since we lost Joe.

Did you see see the documentary on Joe? I saw it last year but I believe it came out a few years ago, and was directed or produced by Scorcese. Great stuff---I totally forgot his Dad was a British diplomat.

One of many bands I regret not seeing live---my sister saw them in concert back in the day.

Thanks for posting!

Live, they were awesome, in all senses of the word.

So many assholes in the crowd shouting "W-H-O-O-O-O!!!" that
Joe finally said, "The Who's next. It's OUR fucking stage for now,
so FUCK OFF!!!"

Suddenly... I was even a BIGGER fan.
