“Punk ain’t the boots or the hair dye. I’ve been asked to define it many times so I’ve actually thought about it for a couple of seconds. It must be the attitude that you have, that approach to everything in life with that attitude.” Joe Strummer #JoeStrummer #TheClash
“When you blame yourself, you learn from it. If you blame someone else, you don’t learn nothing, cause hey, it’s not your fault, it’s his fault, over there. That is the hardest thing of all. That’s a grown-up. You’ve gotta grow up in this world.” Joe Strummer
