Happy Happy Birthday Mick Jones born today June 26 1955.
The Clash man with the pipes of satin. Often blamed for the break up of the band, years later Joe Strummer and Mick Jones reconciled.
I saw first hand to men in a room with the banter of brothers. My God its burned in my mind, I sat in a filthy chair and I must have looked insane with my mouth hung open as if I were in the presence of Gods.
Micks amazing vocals on “Stay Free”, rip out your heart ” 1 2 Got A Crush On You” makes me scream !
Where Joe was raspy Mick was vulnerable and WHY the hell after all these years can I not write about these gentlemen without welling up with tears!
Anyone who’s seen Rude Boy has fallen in love with Mick. He had rock and roll legs, he mentored The Libertines (you stupid fucks).
Big Audio Dynamite? HELL FUCKING YES! Go right now and download Applecart…go….seriously.

Go easy, step lightly, stay free.
Cake and a never ending hug to my comrade.
