Silly Spaniards, you leave out the first name when dedicating some public space to somone, like Madison Avenue, Washington Boulevard, or Churchill Street. Plaza de Joe Strummer sounds cack. Plaze de Strummer is much better.

Hero tag is obviously for Joe.

Joe Strummer a hero?

Did he save some crippled kittens from a house fire?

Great musician yes. Hero...um, how about no.

DrZiffle: in before the "Who?" douchebags.

I don't think he played in the Who. And they did have some good songs so don't call them douchebags.

No way that is going to happen.

His guitar work and distinct sound went a long way in making The Smiths what they are.

He wasn't in the Smiths, dumbass. You're thinking of East Bay Ray.

Whoa. In all seriousness, that really made me laugh. And I have no idea who East Bay Ray even is. But the mental image conjured by the name is hilarious.

Off to teh Google!

OK. This is East Bay Ray:

Which, you must admit, when pictured with The Smiths is pretty funny.

He's not trolling. He means Joe Strummer had a tons of influence on The Smiths just like he influenced so many other bands that came after The Clash.

Very nice. Granada is my favorite city ever.

Surely they could find an alley in New Orleans to name for Dirty Johnny from Queens.
