[kj] Asteroid / Complete Control

[Alexander Smith]

Jaz had an account about running into Joe Strummer -- I forget where  
I read it.

Evidently, the `Joke and the Clash both rehearsed in the same space,  
and used to grimace at each other regularly (no love lost between the  
two camps, I gather). Years later, Jaz spotted Joe in a pub somewhere  
and they sat down and mended fences and had a laugh -- or so says Jaz.

This was prior to Joe's death....obviously.
