I also think he would have made the transition to become the UK's answer Johnny Cash and been the elder stateman of the UK music scene if his old ticker hadn't given up.

Yeah what he said...
Met the man himself backstage at a Clash concert in Alberta, Canada of all places in the 80's. Couldn't be a nicer, more humble, down to earth rocker on the planet. Conversation kinda went like this. Joe, "How you doing man?". Me, "Aaagh, gurh, ugh, orf". All of them were incredibly cool.
BTW my second boy's middle name is Cash, named after the man in black.
