Joe Strummer's posthumous last album "Streetcore" is due out this October, with a cover of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song". I dig it. :(

Urgh, I hate it when people do cover songs and try to better them. It's annoying........and especially Bob! How can anyone better Bob Marley?

Joe Strummer is John Graham Mellor.

Ditto on that. Most reggae in general can't compare to the lyrical/musical prophecy of Bob's talent. Not even Lee "Scratch" Perry, Peter Tosh's solo, or Steel Pulse. I own one album by each of them and it just isn't the same.

How many new songs are on this new release of Strummer's work? And is it solo stuff or what?

It's all new songs except the Marley cover. Jesus. :(

I fully agree. :oops: Seriously. It's much worse than not knowing who Sid Vicious is, or something. He's as important and legendary in his own way as Bob Marley (who I'm not interested in on a musical level, frankly).
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."
