JOE STRUMMER: THE FUTURE IS UNWRITTEN
Filed Under Get Your Mind Right
Peace World, last night I had the pleasure of watching a Rocumentary about the lead singer of one of my favorite bands of all time, Joe Strummer of The Clash.  A self-described “mouthy little git,” Joe Strummer was the quintessential rude boy, rebel musician, artist and activist. As lead singer and songwriter for the seminal band The Clash, he melded raw creativity with radical politics, transforming punk rock into a social movement. Drawing on a shared punk history and their personal friendship, renowned filmmaker Julien Temple charts Strummer’s remarkable career, discovering previously unearthed interviews and unreleased live footage of The Clash. Collaborators and admirers as diverse as Mick Jones, Bono, John Cusack, Johnny Depp, Jim Jarmusch, Martin Scorsese, Flea, Courtney Love and Steve Buscemi discuss the ways that, five years after his death, Strummer’s influence is stronger than ever.
