Gone soft?

A random acquaintance of mine posted the following on myspace just recently:

"Life's about friendships, the way you love your partner, the way you care for your children. That is what life is about. Not anything about earning a hundred zillion dollars because you toured America more than anyone else. I want life to be about creativity."
- Joe Strummer, former lead singer for the Clash


Now. Upon further evaluation of this quote, I find it positively fascinating. Who knew Joe Strummer was an apple-turnover on the inside, a regular softy that cared about kiddos, partners, and the-can't-take-it-with-you philosophy. It's too bad, really, that so many of us don't give two raucous shits about anyone but ourselves. Now stick that in your stocking and light it on fire... it's Christmas time, baby!
