Joe Strummer - "Without People, You're Nothing" - RS Kill Team Photos



In the light of the release of "The Kill Team Photos" from Rolling Stone, the messages Joe Strummer breathed into his lyrics seem to have more meaning than ever before. This is not to say that violent tragedies have not plagued our history until now, but in our growing world of one-word headlines and "face-tweets", our attention to the world around us seems to grow smaller and smaller. As a media device that usually curtails more to the placidness of our current musical climate, Rolling Stone earns my respect in having the courage to give light on such stories. I heard someone say recently that "..if you want a good day don't look at the news." I say look everyday. Remind yourself that these things happen everyday and perhaps our actions towards each other will inspire and breath the humanity back in our and other's lives.
