Joe Strummer Biography

Just released last week: Redemption Song: The Ballad of Joe Strummer, a biography by Chris Sallewicz, a music journalist who extensively covered The Clash during the late 1970s, as well as a longtime friend of Strummer. The book is said to give a considerable amount of space to the low period Strummer experienced following the break-up of The Clash.

Pop Culture e-zine popmatters.com is running a series of excerpts from the book (one each day this week) that are definitely worth checking out.

As a bonus, here's the trailer for the recently-released Joe Strummer documentary The Future is Unwritten.
