Ironically, the rela Hammersmith Palais, a legendary nightclub in the UK, is being torn down this year after it hosts a music awards banquet.

Interestingly, the last owners gave I believe Strummer the front door to the club before he died.

Really Daigo, I fucking envy you. All that we youngsters now have is video-taped ghosts...

Anyway, I just realized that I didn't give any pop towards Joe Simmone, who hi,self was a talented singer/writer within the group. Of course while it was Mick Jones and Joe Strummer that were the principle writers/singers, Simmone had a few winners like "Ivan Meets G.I. Joe" and a Clash fan-favorite, "The Guns of Brixton"(really, good song on album, but when played live, its probably one of the act's best works).
