JUNE 7TH AT KING TUT'S WAH WAH HUT, GLASGOW, U.K.
REVIEW 1 posted by hdbsu on alt.music.clash newsgroup.

Like so many guys my age (33) I never had the chance to see The Clash but when Strummer played in Glasgow recently at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut I just had to go along.

I won’t bore you with some tome about the gig, it was simply too good to describe, loads of Clash stuff, White Man, Casbah, Tommy Gun and the new stuff sounded good, especially Techno D-Day.

He’s touring this winter, go see him, the backing band is also shit hot!!

Did you go? What do you remember?

Joe Strummer Interview
Punk Magazine - by Judy McGuire
It's always scary to meet people you admire as much as I admired Joe Strummer. He was the closest thing to having a hero I ever had. When I got the assignment to interview him, I was both excited and scared shitless. What if he was nasty or rude to me? I'd be crushed. Words can't truly express what a huge influence the Clash had on my life. I was a painfully shy, depressed, awkward teenager the first time I heard them. They taught me about politics, to think for myself, to question authority, and to become a better, more informed person. Their lyrics gave me the courage to stop caring what other people thought about me and to always be true to myself.

We found Joe Strummer on the terrace of the BBC bar, where he imparted to us the wisdom that only comes from hard years on the road . . .

Unknown:
