“What I’d like to do personally is start all over again… If I had a red button here, and if I pushed it everything in the world would vanish and we’d be nomads walking the grasslands, I’d push it straightaway. I wouldn’t even hesitate. Because money runs this nonsense, and they’re gonna feed us gasoline and oil until the world is a dead shell.”

Joe Fucking Strummer circa 1999 ❤️❤️❤️

“…you only have one life, and if you’re going to do something with it you should start now. Because you might not be around one day and not leave anything behind you.”

~ Strummer circa 1992

“It ain’t rock ‘n’ roll anymore. It’s just wallpaper. Now is the time when you’ve got to look for things, as it was in the days of beatniks existing in straight society, when the good stuff was hard to find. But was even more valuable when you discovered it.”

~ Strummer in ‘86ish
