All I know is that I don’t know
All I know is that I don’t know nothing
We get told to decide
Just like, as if, I’m not gonna change my mind
All I know is that I don’t know
All I know is that I don’t know nothing
All I know is that I don’t know
All I know is that I don’t know nothing
Whatcha gonna do with yourself
Boy better make up your mind
Whatcha gonna do with yourself
You’re running out of time
One more thing, if anybodys gonna beat this illness then it’ll be Stan, top proffesional and definitly not a stereotypical footballer. We’re all rooting for you! UTV!
Some things mean so much more than football and Stan Petrov being diagnosed with cancer is certainly one of them, it doesnt matter if im only saying this becuase he captains my favorite football team, the fact is he’s a great talented young person who has cancer, thats horrible no matter who you are. Get well soon Stan. UTV!!!
Hearing about Dennis Weichel realy shows theres still humanity in this world, this proves unity beyond nations, we should remember that. R.I.P
“I was shocked to hear Joe Strummer had died. Seemed totally inappropriate somehow - not at all believable. There he was at the the Gorillaz night at the Royal Opera House just a couple or three weeks ago, looking utterly normal and bouncy and strong - not overweight, seemingly as full of life as ever. I didn’t actually even say hello that night, though I’d intended to - the dressing rooms were miles from the stage, and miles from each other, and I was pacing the floor trying to make sure I didn’t forget the words of these songs that I never normally sing. So the moment never happened. I DID speak to his violinist when I bumped into him half-way through the show. I said, “You guys should come up and join us on “Crazy Little Thing” at the end of the show”. I know Bryan Adams had sent the same message that night - it would have been a nice way to end the evening if it had happened. But probably we all thought of it too late - we should have rehearsed it really…
I didn’t know Joe very well - Queen were hardly ever in the UK during the days of the Punk Glories - we were constantly on tour - you become quite distant from what is happening back home. So our paths never crossed at that time. Of the whole movement, I related to the Sex Pistols music very much, but didn’t really take to the Clash in that instant - it was much later, in retrospect, that I began to enjoy their stuff. But a couple of years ago I found myself on a long plane journey with Joe. It took a few minutes to warm up - I think each of us thought the other guy wouldn’t be interested in talking to us!!! But then we got on like a house on fire - we talked about recording, touring, living, families, fame, and moving on from fame - and found much to share and enjoy. He knew almost everyting about our band, to my surprise, and could quote from our lyrics - I had no idea he liked our music. And by that time I knew enough about the Clash to talk sensibly about his group too! I left the plane thinking we would stay in touch, and fully intended to, but life gets so overcrowded with stuff… I never did follow up….
He seemed such a nice, genuine, mature bloke on that journey, which is now a fond memory.
Happy journey on, Mr. Strummer. God Speed ya to the Better Place!”

Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros - “Coma Girl”
Live at the Bridgewater Palace Theatre, Nov. 17, 2002.
Joe died nine years ago today (Dec. 22, 2002), so if you could, just take a moment to remember how much he rocked and how he spent his life trying to do it right.
We were in Japan on tour where we played the Fuji Rock Festival, which is really amazing – though an earthquake hit when we were there – but Joe used to really love it. At the Festival they have a ‘Strummerville’ type thing going on which is great you know?
Anyway Joe once found an off season ski resort there because it was summer and not in use, and in there he found this disused old cable car that he’d sit in. Over time people had written lyrics of Joe [Strummer] and Paintings of him all over it and its amazing… and so we were in there in the pouring rain and its only a 6 man cable car and I was just sitting there in the presence of Joe… Joe is with me all the time you know… He’s here tonight with us right now and he was with me when I went on stage and when I was playing tonight. I can feel him in so many ways, its something that’s with me a lot of the time.”
