Not how I thought about starting the week

I IM'd a friend of mine today to end up hearing that Joe Strummer died of a heart attack.

LONDON, England -- Joe Strummer, lead singer for seminal British punk band the Clash, has died at the age of 50.

Strummer, who was the band's guitarist, vocalist and songwriter alongside Mick Jones, died on Sunday at his farmhouse in Somerset, southwestern England.

Bleh. I just grabbed London Calling, Combat Rock, and No. 10 Upping St off the shelf to play this morning. All of which had impact at certain times in my life.

CNN also has a nice profile of him.
