I've not returned to Manhattan since that event, not sure I can picture the island that differently (as it now is). I think a greater memorial would be some steps toward achieving peace in a region that has become somewhat of a crusade now. I'll respectfully decline adding the images to the site as I'll get known as a political blog if I'm not careful but I don't subscribe to the response by the UK and the US in the years since. The Strummer mural though...we like that!!!! Thanks Shannon. I’ve not returned to Manhattan since that event, not sure I can picture the island that differently (as it now is).

On a related note to today's post, I have some photos that may be of interest to you, as I just was in NYC for the very first time last week. I have a photo of the site of the World Trade Center as we stayed right around the corner from it (totally randomly, thanks to one of the stay at a nice hotel for cheap sites). I also made pilgrimage to the Joe Strummer memorial mural just prior to leaving. I'd be happy to share them, just let me know. Thanks for creating such a great place.

The blog is really rewarding and easy to do when you care about the subject matter. Some topics are easier to address than others and I guess reacting to the world at large along with the music is something I'm not always brave enough to do - so your comments are really helpful. I don't know nearly as much as some Clash fans, I do know that the impact of the band shaped who I am to an amazing degree and I hope for the better. The blog was always aimed at bringing people together and sharing ideas and experiences so even with that lofty goal I'm satisfied so far. Best Tim David,
