| While Joe Strummer sits on his ass and whines, “I got my motorcycle jacket but I’m walking all the time,” there’s bikers out there without either of those things who are still riding to live and living to ride. |

This guy used to hang by Carre St. Louis when I was living there, was friends with all the burnt hippies. Hell, he is a burnt hippie. Amazing thing about that park, too, was there was young hippie girls, too... Like Montreal is where all the hippies went after they died with the 60s and 70s... damn oldie, good to see you still rollin...

I know a dude like this who lives near me. Everyone loves him except his children who refuse to talk to him. When he needs money he builds dragsters, he always sits on the same bar stool and never speaks unless spoken to. He also has a tatoo that covers the entire top of his head.
When i asked him if it hurt he just laughed.

this guy is absolutely everywhere in montreal, especially around and in the mcgill campus. the best part is that he pedals that fucking trike 20 miles an hour down the sidewalk, almost killing everyone. 24 hours a day. i've never seen him standing on his feet on the sidewalk.

This is England
What we're supposed to die for
This is England
And we're never gonna cry no more
Black shadow of the Vincent
Falls on a Triumph line
I got my motorcycle jacket
But I'm walking all the time
South Atlantic wind blows
Ice from a dying creed
I see no glory
When will we be free

This Is England
(Strummer/Rhodes)
I hear a gang fire on a human factory farm
Are they howling out or doing somebody harm
On a catwalk jungle somebody grabbed my arm
A voice spoke so cold it matched the weapon in her palm
This is England
This knife of Sheffield steel
This is England
This is how we feel
Time on his hands freezing in those clothes
He won't go for the carrot
They beat him by the pole
Some sunny day confronted by his soul
He's out at sea, too far off, h

i was at glastonbury doing the visuals for death in vegas one year when it was actually dry and i was sat at mr. strummer's camp fire with his show biz pals and scary but salt o' the earth scally pals when the fire started creeping towards the bales of straw we were sat upon.i had my back to the action but my rather effective combo of drugs that i know are not big and clever would have me believe i was in my living room in hackney(oh-the irony i know...) .so i felt duty bound to make right this potentially devastating situation.i leapt across the fire,grabbed a big bottle of water and doused
