Interview with Chris Salewicz
The death of Joe Strummer, three days before Christmas 2002, shook the rock 'n' roll world. His synthesis of gritty toughness and poetic sensitivity had touched people's hearts, reflecting his rabble-rousing role as front man with The Clash, the most sensational rock 'n' roll group ever. Writer Chris Salewicz knew Joe as a close friend and subject since 1977. With the full approval of his relatives, companions, and fellow musicians, he has written "Redemption Song: The Ballad of Joe Strummer" (Faber & Faber), the definitive account of this most fascinating of all British rock 'n' roll idols, a man who really did change the way the world thought about music and its connection to politics.
