    My wife and I saw Joe play just before he died -- at a casino in Atlantic City. (There's a film of that day showing Joe on the boardwalk approaching passers-by and asking them to come to the show.) The irony of the venue was not lost on Joe; he had a twinkle in his eye the whole evening. Before one of his political numbers, he said, "This next one is a love song." My wife yelled to him, "Sing it to me, Joe." Joe looked at her, smiled, and said, "It doesn't make any sense, but I'll try."

      That's a lovely story mate. I think he was a good bloke with a kind heart, more than just a musician. I remember the day we lost him very clearly and I was gutted. I hope he is in a good place with fiends now. Remembering you Joe.

    I think of Strummer sometimes as a moral guide. Not a perfect man, I know, but someone who strove for better things for himself and humanity. We often look for inspiration in religion or the words of philosophers, but there can be wisdom even in the words of a child. I think Joe knew this. Thanks Joe, we're trying out here...

    This is one of my favorite cover songs of all time, and a main reason why is that he sings in his own accent, instead of trying to imitate Bob Marley’s Jamaican accent. It makes the song his own without disrespecting the original. It also helps that, while he makes other changes of his own (adding to the instrumental, lowering it by a major 6th to match his vocal range), he also keeps the lyrics pretty much the same, keeps the same tempo, and still bases it around guitar. Just a wonderful balance of respect to the original and innovation.

    I was ten when Joe died. Nearly nine years later now and it feels like he's standing beside me pushing me along. The charity 'Strummerville' that was set up in his name have helped me and many other young musicians to get out there and play our music. Thanks to Joe I was able to record an album, so thank you man. Even after death you haven't given up on people. Thank you.

    Joe Strummer is my hero. I am 17, i never heard his music in his lifetime but now I have, he means everything to me. He showed me why it's important to make music that's more than pretty. It has to mean something to someone, it has to take you somewhere. He taught me that there is no bad form of music. He taught me that the world is a big place and it moves fast so you have to experience as much of it as possible otherwise you waste your life.
    Joe, thank you for everything. You are missed.

    Well I’m a 17 year old boy and I discovered The Clash this year I listen to their tracks everyday and think why does such a big part off other teens to pop? This is what music is al about, making a difference, inspire people, show them their not alone if they feel lonely, guilty, sad or mad in and about the world and their leaders, being an example for others who could change the world to in their way... trust me I might not have known Joe Strummer as much as a lot of you guys, but he lives on also in the heart of a lot of younger people. Joe is one off my many examples and he’ll be 4ever certainly in the days when fear and anger rule a huge part of this planet.

    9 years today. You're gone, but you'll never be forgotten. RIP Joe. You're the inspiration that has pushed me to do more, to be more, to live more. You've inspired so very many, and you continue to do so. Every time I see someone bearing your name it rekindles my hope for humanity. In a world full of corporate sounds, so still inspire the DIY mind. We miss you, I miss you. If there is something after this life I hope I meet you there, so I can say thank you. Thank you for everything.
