Joe Strummer Quotes

• I spoke to Paul Simon about this and he said, ‘Hey man, before Graceland I was dead in the water. Nobody was checking my stuff.’ So he’s a realist. He had some barren years after stuff like One-Trick Pony, and out of the hat he pulled Graceland. So life is interesting: anything can happen.

• I found that I was just hopeless at school. It was just a total bore. First I passed in art and English, and then just art. Then I passed out.
