Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Re: Strummservations
What are your favourite pictures of Strummer?
Re: Strummservations
This is the first one that came to mind:
At least I loved it back in the day.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
Re: Strummservations
not great images per se but i'm still a sucker for burroughs and ginsberg since i was young. not that i find everything about the beat era to be true or valid.

Ginsberg is an advocate for paedophilia. Horrible man.

Honestly, i dont think i have ever heard of any fans having a bad interaction with joe.
Re: Strummservations
In Bindhi Baghee, Joe mentions he's walking down some high road or other and that nowhere around can be found mushy peas. I gotta call bull on this because I was able to find mushy peas pretty easily wherever I was. Where is this pea-less high road?
