Later this week an exhibit honoring The Man will come to Tokyo. Joe Strummer: Past, Present & Future, which just opened in London, is showing in Shibuya for about a month. Seems like it’s going to have some killer shit, as noted in a Japan Times article (second half of the piece):
McHarg is quick to point out that the exhibit is more literary than visual. “There’s not a lot of stuff that hangs on the wall,” he says. There is, however, a lot of reading material, including journal entries, handwritten lyrics and poetry, and letters — “even fan mail from Japan.”
It’s partly sponsored by the Joe Strummer Foundation For New Music, which I hadn’t really heard about before seeing the fliers for this exhibit. As far as I can tell (I don’t read Japanese), it’s at a gallery owned by a big-ass Tokyo department store. Should be fun — definitely will beat sitting around stressing about everything.
