Win a Clash Shirt from The Sweet Relief Musicians Fund

Don't forget to donate to the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund this month, because you should, and for a chance to win their latest fun gift: a special, one of a kind silk-screened Clash T-shirt designed by bassist Paul Simonon (now of The Good, The Bad, and The Queen). The shirt goes to one lucky person who donates at least $20 to the charity between January 15th and February 26th. Simonon designed most of the band's look, and this is an original, 1977 era "Security" T-shirt. The shirt's cred is upped one further by the fact that its original owner was Patti Smith, who gave it to her drummer, Jay Dee Daugherty, who in turn donated it to Sweet Relief. Find out how to donate at Sweet Relief's website or myspace.

Founded in 1994, Sweet Relief Musicians Fund provides financial assistance to career musicians, aiding disabled or retired musicians, artists unable to work, and even struggling "baby bands". The organization was created by Victoria Williams of The Original Harmony Ridge Creek Dippers, and was originally funded by proceeds from Sweet Relief albums I and II, which featured artists such as Garbage, The Smashing Pumpkins and R.E.M. Today it exists because of individual donors and members of the music industry.
