It's strange how the world works. I would have never picked J. Strummer as one of my fashion icons. I like the Clash as much as the next guy, and appreciate his political stance but he's never been a huge guiding light in my life...until I came across this mural in the East Village. I realised at this moment that my hair and sun-glass choice (which haven't changed since the early 90's) is completely derivative of him or perhaps the guy he copied it off. My Kasbah was rocked.

It is uncanny!
Hate to name drop, but many many years ago I managed to scam my way backstage at a Clash gig.
Joe had a seriously slicked greaser style hairdo. I couldn't resist giving him a pat on the head (don't ask me why).
Uuugghh!
There must have been a whole tin of pommade in his hair! I reckon it probably took him at least three washes to get it out.
Hopefully your hair hygiene is a little better.
great site mate. its got a great mix of NY and Sydney, the only two cities i really care about. pity they are so far away from each other.
Thanks guys. Good on you STan for getting B/S at the Clash gig.
