"Were it not for the Clash, punk would have been just a sneer, a safety pin, and a pair of bondage trousers," writes Billy Bragg, and documentarian/activist DAmbrosio proves it with this gathering of skillfully selected articles and essays on Clash front man Joe Strummer (1952-2002), from the likes of Lester Bangs, Chuck D, Greil Marcus and DAmbrosio himself." — Publisher's Weekly, 11/8/04
"Joe was speaking about things he saw in his life — the things right in front of his face that no one wanted to talk about — and taking his message around the world...Public Enemy is an American group but we address the same issues — political, social, musical — on an international level. I learned the importance of that from Joe Strummer." — From the Preface by Chuck D
A quintessential rude boy, punker, rebel musician, artist and activist. Joe Strummer wrote some of the most important music of the last century. His most influential songs include "Guns of Brixton," "The Washington Bullets," "Spanish Bombs," "London's Burning," and "Garageland." Effectively melding raw creativity with radical politics, Strummer transformed punk rock from its early associations with reactionary and nihilistic politics into a social movement.Let the Fury Have the Hour collects articles, interviews, essays, and reviews that chronicle Strummer's life both as a musician and a political activist. Included are original essays and interviews by Antonino D'Ambrosio, alongside contributions from Peter Silverton, Billy Bragg, Ann Scanlon, Lester Bangs, Sylvie Simmons, Charlie Bertsch, Greil Marcus, Amy Phillips, Joel, Schalit, Not4Prophet, and others.
Antonino D'Ambrosio is a writer, filmmaker, photographer and musician. He is the founder and director of La Lutta New Media Collective, a media activism and documentary film production group based in New York City. His writing has appeared in The Nation, The Progressive, Monthly Review, Color Lines, the New Labor Forum and other publications.
