“That summer, Ron and Anna Mellor [Joe Strummer’s parents] traveled up to Scotland to visit Bonar Bridge, the first time they had been there in twenty years. […] When they stopped at a tiny village called Clashmore near Dornoch, Ron had Anna take a picture of him standing with mischievous pride in front of the village’s boundary sign, his torso deliberately obscuring the second syllable of the place name.”
