Cover art for Silver And Gold (Before I Grow Too Old) lyrics by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros

I swear, it's almost as if he knew the end is near. Hell, I'm crying as I write this. I see the song like this: he's done so much for so many people, but now it's time for him to get a little back from the world. His music has changed my life, as I'm sure it has for others. Now I think he wanted to relax and enjoy the fruits of his labor, but we'll never know if he really did. R.I.P.
