I saw Joe when he toured for Earthquake Weather.

He got up for an encore and dedicated a song "...for that Big Audio Dynamite pussy, Mick Jones!"

Then he played "Love Kills".

 

I don't think The Clash were ever going to reunite.

 

But... RIP, Joe. We do miss you.

Streetcore is such a good album. Joe basically wrote his own epitaph with Long Shadow, intended for Cash but better applied to Joe himself:

 

And if you put it all together

You didn’t even once relent

You cast a long shadow

And that is your testament

 

Somewhere in my soul

there’s always Rock ‘n’ Roll.

Yeah!

 

As for the Clash reuniting, it seems relatively certain Joe, Mick and Paul were up for it at the Rock and Roll HOF induction ceremony. I think the holdout was Topper. Joe faxed him pleading with him to join them the day he died.
