It still seems odd that in one of Gruen’s most reproduced pix of the band, Simonon and Jones are standing in each other’s usual positions on stage.

And yes, it also remains disconcerting seeing Joe Strummer appearing to “punch” the WTC, and then note the buildings’ absence in the Green Day rip-off photo.
