There are few words to express just how happy I am that the world’s greatest rock and roll band was born just yards from my front door.
JOE STRUMMER: “After seeing the Pistols I thought the 101’ers might as well give up there and then. The other members couldn’t see it and we were beginning to splinter. The guitarist stormed off after a gig not much later at the Golden Lion in Fulham, V C but that night Bernie Rhodes came to the dressing room with Keith Levene and went, “hey, come with me, I want you to meet some people.” There was something about the way he and Keith looked I just said “OK” and we went to Shepherd’s Bush, to a squat in Davis Road where there were these two guys waiting who I’d seen in the dole office not long before. There were amps in the room and we started to practise either then or the next day. Afterwards Bernie said, “why don’t you think about joining this band?” I thought about it for about 24 hours and then rang him and said, “OK, I’m in.” It was the look of them more than anything else, you could see the new world”.
