Strummer, who died in 2002 at age 50, was remembered at a naming ceremony Saturday at a railway station in Bristol, southwest England. The Strummer train, a diesel locomotive built in 1965, follows a 200-year-old tradition of British trains being named after famous people. It will be operated in England by Cotswold Rail company. Strummer's influential punk band rose to fame in the 1970s with hits including "London Calling" and "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" Originally born John Graham Mellor, Strummer died of a heart attack at his home in Somerset, southwest England, in December 2002. ===================================================================== Bunnymen Online Presence: http://www.bunnymenlist.com * http://www.bunnymen.info * http://www.bunnymen.com * http://www.fotolog.net/sgtfuzz/ * http://bunnymen.nexuswebs.net/ * http://www.angelfire.com/wy2/discog/ * ====================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2005 12:37:35 -0500 From: Brian Andersen Subject: Re: seven-seas Joe Strummer train ok this makes more sense then because I thought it had something to do with Train In Vain which I believe is a Mick Jones tune. It still makes me sad that Strummer is dead especially since his last album, Streetcore was so brilliant and stands up to any Clash album.
