I wasn't planning on posting while I'm in Nebraska, but this is important and I wanted to make a brief comment on it...

Joe Strummer, one of the founders of The Clash, passed away on Sunday of a heart attack.

For those of you who don't know who The Clash were, you missed out on one of the important bands of the 70s/80s. You've probably heard songs like "London Calling" or the infamous "Rock the Casbah" and didn't even know it.

Strummer hadn't been as relevant since the Clash broke up in 1985, but he was still an essential figure in musical and rock history. The world is a little less bright for the loss.
