Another Non Story From rock nyc: No FBI File ON Joe Strummer

In our ongoing efforts to forward you the most irrelevant information available to us, please file this along with

1. Our inability to get Domino Records UK to listen to us about an Elliott Smith Christmas record.

and

2. Our inability to find a medium willing to get Louis Armstrong to sit for an interview.

Here, we do just as bad. The FBI advises us they have zero files on Joe Strummer. You gotta think they would, I mean, this was before Arabs were number one on the enermies of the State, surely a good socialist lad like Joe would be right up there?

But apparently not.

I mean, really, did J. Edgar Hoover die for this? They had files on Lennon, why not the leader of the Clash???

Well, you've got me but there isn't any.

Next week: we won't have secretly taped footage of ITunes AEs excepting bribes for record placement…
