Celeb Doppelganger: Joe Strummer and James Allan


Joe Strummer of the Clash (left) and James Allan of Glasvegas (right)

Considering their many similarities, we suspect it's not entirely a coincidence that Glasvegas frontman James Allan bears such a striking resemblance to Clash legend Joe Strummer. Both musicians were raised in Scotland, for starters. Their snarling punk attitudes come across through their stage presence, not to mention their shared penchant for pop-influenced songwriting. In the end though, it's really that Elvis Presley quiff that seals the deal.

It is said that he has a nice profile and hot videos on a celeb dating site _Ａgeｌｅｓｓ'date . ℃○M _ . I do not know why she does so. Some users on that site already saw them and are discussing hotly. OH~~~OH~~~~

Notice how, whichever way we voted, on the resemblance's, the total vote's altogether, vote's that saw no resemblance, vote's of "I can see it", and vote's of "Yes! it's scary" all the same amount of vote's per comparison.

Well, it's easy to tell 'em apart *now*, i'n'it? Joe Strummer's been dead since 2002!

See previous comment! I think Pricilla (spelling?) might have been more apt to fit the description!

quiff??? Wasn't that word defined on "South Park"? I don't belive it has anything to do with a hair style! Har Har!
