He was apparently a bit of a misfit in the public school set up anyways, and his dad, while a diplomat, was also a misfit in that he was radical and left wing!Bina007https://www.blogger.com/profile/01622085135305501711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18360914.post-27664115694417721562007-05-29T08:42:00.000+00:002007-05-29T08:42:00.000+00:00He's always been someone that's been poorly though...He's always been someone that's been poorly thought of by some people in music: because of his upbringing, he gets labeled a fake or a hypocrite.

What really comes across is Joe's optimism - his real belief that people could change stuff by doing it - and his real belief that everyone is interesting. Hence the whole world music thing and the camp fires. The doc doesn't sugar coat things - Strummer acts like a complete wanker sometimes - but the great thing is he always admits it after the fact!Bina007https://www.blogger.com/profile/01622085135305501711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18360914.post-60298529724128568602007-05-28T08:50:00.000+00:002007-05-28T08:50:00.000+00:00I really wanna see this, as the Clash are my favou...I really wanna see this, as the Clash are my favourite punk band (after the Buzzcocks). I love the Clash's optimism over the Sex Pistols' nihilism. Sounds like a good film.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
