Everyone goes eventually, but he was a bit early at only 50.

Still one of my favorite bands. I saw them at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver 76-78 (the dates are kinda fuzzy)

BAD news indeed.
I only saw the Clash live once and it was an amazing experience.

I think it's better this way. Goodness forbid that punk heroes end up like the Rolling Stones.

The really crappy part is that they were maybe thinking of playing together for the rock and roll hall of fame thing.

I loved the Clash. I got to see the Clash during the Sandinista tour. They stopped by Philly and played at some ice rink. The sound was terrible. It was echoing all over the place. The opening act was Burning Spear who were a mellow reggae band. The punks on the floor were ready to slam dance, but reggae isn't very good for that kind of thing. By the time the Clash came on the crowd was all revved up and so was the band. It was a great show.
So much for a Clash reunion.
"Death is a Star"
And I was gripped by that deadly phantom
I followed him through hard jungles
As he stalked through the back lots
Strangling through the night shades
The thief of life
Moved onwards and outwards to love
In a one stop only motel
A storm bangs on the cheapest room
The phantom slips in to spill blood
Even on the sweetest honeymoon
The killer of love
Caught the last late Niagara bus
By chance or escaping from misery
Bu suddeness or in answer to pain
Smoking in the dark cinema
You could see the bad go down again
And the clouds are high in Spanish mountains
And a Ford roars through the night full of rain.
The killer's blood flows
But he loads his gun again
Make a grown man cry like a girl
To see the guns dying at sunset
In vain lovers claimed
But they never had met.

I'm not a super big fan. I didn't recognize the name at first.
But they were good in their time.

Reports indicate he died of a heart attack. He is survived by his wife, two daughters and a step daughter, I believe. No funeral plans have been announced, although an autopsy was possible either on Monday or today (Tuesday).
