Joe Strummer

Joe Mellow better known by his stage name Joe Strummer was the co-founder, lyricist, rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist of The Clash, a punk rock band formed in 1976 as part of the original wave of British punk. 

Punk rock isn't something you grow out of, Punk rock is an attitude and the essence of that attitude is give us some truth. When I started, they told me I only needed 3 chords and the truth... It turned out I could manage with 2 and some vague ideas.
If I had five million pounds I'd start a radio station because something needs to be done. It would be nice to turn on the radio and hear something that didn't make you feel like smashing up the kitchen and strangling the cat.

Strummer's musical experience included stints with the 101ersLatino Rockabilly Warthe Mescaleros and the Pogues, in addition to his own solo music career.

Strummer's Law: No input, no output.
