Description
Joe Strummer was the archetypal citizen artist. As a member of The Clash, Strummer composed some the most important rebel music of the twentieth century. Fusing raw creativity with a humanist global sensibility, he helped convert punk rock from its early associations with reactionary and nihilistic politics into a movement of creative response and world citizenship. Let Fury Have the Hour ,the inspiration for D'Ambrosio's extraordinary documentary of the same name,is a unique collection of original writing, interviews, essays, and visual art. Included are essays and photographs by D'Ambrosio and pieces by Chuck D, Billy Bragg, Tom Morello, DJ Spooky, Shepard Fairey, and more, together illustrating how Strummer's work inspired a movement.
