Learned to play the guitar the wrong way round, couldn't be arsed to unlearn it, started the best band ever... that's how he rolled... 👍

This guy might be legit the coolest rockstar to ever have lived. The way he describes running from the police is actually so subversive of most typical 'badass' anecdotes, he loved playing music and expressing himself, and simply doing that is such a cooler act of rebellion than any riots or messes that typically accompany a rock front man.

I thought the opposite, it showed how far Joe had fallen practically begging for people to watch him perform. Joe was one of the coolest people alive until about 1983. But then he lost the plot, fired Mick Jones and formed the horrible late version of the Clash. He became a selfish, corporate shill with nothing else to give or say.

​@D MERLS wow that's harsh. Joe certainly is to blame for some and he immediately knew and regretted it but Mick was on such an ego trip so there is that. Joe still deserved better than how it was for him after the clash till his death...

Bless. RIP Joe, the only musician I really miss.

You listen to the London Calling album and the sheer finesse of the music, it boggles the mind that it came from such rough beginnings. The Clash transcended punk rock by leaps and bounds. There will only ever be one Joe Strummer.

No one told a story quite like Strummer. Rest in Power.

This makes me sad, Joe should still be alive,

Joe’s autobiography is worth reading! His lyrics and music were a great inspiration to me and contributed a lot to my sensibilities as an artist. I had the great fortune to see The Clash perform twice - in Pittsburgh and in Philadelphia. Thanks, Joe! Peace and love to all.

The Clash was my first favourite band

"I'd start with Bizet"...That's funny. The first opera Nietzsche could attend years after being terribly disappointed by Wagner was a piece by Bizet.

What a great time it was for music back then, and the Clash were the best there was.

Great interview!

It really was Steve Jones taking offence to what the vulgar interviewer said to Siouxsie Sioux " you dirty old man, what a filthy rotter..." An amazing moment in broadcasting and music. Feel lucky to have seen both The Clash in 1981 and The Mescaleros not long before Joe's death. I cried out in anguish at work when I saw the news. "who's Joe Strummer?" was the reply from my younger colleagues.
