I would have liked to see Strummer too. Where did you grow up in Michigan? I grew up in Brighton/Ann Arbor.

Strummer was making some cool music up till the end. From what I've heard he was a helluva nice guy too. Big loss for music.

Yeah he was huge to me. He also was influenced by/influenced Billy Bragg who is another guy I adore.

I grew up in Howell, so we were basically neighbors!

Howell! Our arch nemesis and rivals. So are you still in Michigan? If not, do you ever get back? We often have Hubski meet ups in Michigan because there are so many of us there and that's where Hubski is found it. You will have to join us sometime.

I feel like we've had this conversation before, ...have we?

Yeah I'm closer to Ferndale now though! We may have had this conversation before, but if we don't remember that we had it did we really have it?

Where are the meetups is there a tag for them? I'd love to come!

Edit: Also sorry for the 6 day reply I forget to check hubski sometimes
