47. The song is great. It has a fantastic marimba sound
Joe was a pretty intense guy - very smart and well read (as in Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, Das Kapital, etc). He considered himself a socialist and these views are reflected in the music.
Someone once wrote that the movie Apocolypse Now should have been called: One Night In Joe Strummer's Head. I couldn't agree more. He wrote a very poignant song called "Straight to Hell" about the plight of AmerAsian children left behind by American soldiers in Viet Nam.
He lived 20 years ahead of his time and died 20 years before it. :cry:
