One of the greatest people who ever has or ever will walk the face of this earth. He was a musician, a political activist, and an all around great guy. Born John Graham Mellor on August 21, 1952. Fronted one of the greatest bands of all time, The Clash. After their breakup, he went on to have a solo career and work in film. In 1999, he formed Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros, a great band. He died on December 22, 2002, at the age of 50. It just goes to show, only the good die young. RIP.
RIP, Joe Strummer, you were and still are awesome.

The cops of Brixton, as reffered to by Paul Simonin in The Clash's song "The Guns of Brixton"
You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brixton

AIM singing is when someone IMs lyrics to another person. Since there's no music and the other person's just reading it, it makes no sense.
ScreenName123: They said release 'Remote Control'
But we didn't want it on the label
UserName138: Huh? Who are They? What label?
ScreenName123: They said, "Fly to Amsterdam"
The people laughed but the press went mad
UserName138: Wait, who went to Amsterdam?
ScreenName123: No, it's a Clash song.
UserName138: Whatever, AIM singing is so stupid.
