Haha, this was weird. I haven't listen to Joe in a while and 5 minuten ago I suddenly needed to listen to his music!! Now I know why. I forgot about his birthday (shame on me!!) and I consider that as a sign.

Happy Birthday, Joe!
We miss you...

Happy birthday, Joe!!!!!!!! I skipped out on work for the occasion. This day had to be dedicated to him.

Happy B-Day Joe !

Now, if you still can do something for us here, I would appreciate. The stores are dragging their feet here, because the Julian Temple DVD has yet to arrive on the shelves...

I'll raise a pint of beer in your honor later today.

A beautiful soul was born into this world as John Graham Mellor on this day in 1952.

Happy 56th Birthday, Joe!!!


Photobucket

Words can never fully express the amazing impact of your life upon us all; the countless lives you've touched and continue to touch. That lion heart of yours continues to beat just as strong as the day it was born. The beat goes on and on and on…in your words, in your music, in the memories we carry, in the lives of those closest to you and those you never met. Thank you for the passion and enthusiasm you brought to everything. Thank you for never giving up!



Photobucket


Thank you for your kindness and humanity. As you once said “punk rock means EXEMPLARY MANNERS TO YOUR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS. Fuck being an asshole”. Like the Sun, your Soul continues to shine upon and all around us.

We love you, Joe! xxx

I have completly forgot about Joe birthday... But something strange happened two days ago. I was driving my car the 20 around midnight.I was alone. I had not listen to Joe music for a while and suddenly I felt like i need to hear his voice. I put on Earthquake Weather with the volume very high. I stop my car car at the begging of leopardskin limousine. all around me the country. I open the window and let the music goes free trouth the summer night, lighted in part by the moon. I rolled a cigarette and I smoked it, listening to that lovely song, thinking of Joe but completly unaware about Joe birthday...

That's was weird and beautifull.

Thanks Joe

I miss you a lot
