Onetime Clash guitarist Mick Jones is publicly expressing doubts about the accuracy of the Facebook Quiz application after the results of the "Which Punk Rock Star Are You?" quiz revealed he is Joe Strummer.

After answering a brief battery of personality-trait questions written by computer programmers with little grasp on music history and no formal training in psychological measurement methods, Jones was informed his personality traits were most akin to his songwriting foil in the legendary punk band.

"WTF?" he commented on his results. "This is sooooooo BS. I mean, I feel pretty confident that the quiz results that peg my IQ at 187, say that I was Marco Polo in a past life and gauge my 'real' age at 21 are all impeccably accurate. This, though? Strummer? Seriously? Maybe it just saw that I had 'Innoculated City' listed as my favorite song on my profile went with that."

His friends agreed with his critical look at the results.

"lol!" wrote former Clash bassist Paul Simonon. "if this was true we wouldn't have had to kick you out and replace you with those two fucking asswipes! rofl!!!!"
