Bristol honours Joe Strummer with train
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds19255.html


Bristol has honoured the late Joe Strummer by naming a train after him.

The naming ceremony took place on Saturday at a train station in Bristol, and is the latest in a line of trains to be named after famous people, a tradition that has survived 200 years.

The Cotswold Rail company will operate the Strummer train, a diesel locomotive built in 1965.

Strummer (born John Graham Mellor) was the frontman of seminal group The Clash, which scored hits including White Riot, Safe European Home, London Calling and Rock The Casbah.

6. I don't know? There maybe some Clash fans around DU
Perhaps you should ask around...

Me I'm just a loser with no musical tastes who listens to too much Bob Dylan.

Ask me anything...:7
