The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll

The Punk Rock Politics Of Joe Strummer with Gregor Gall


Listen Later

Gregor Gall is well-known and respected for his written work, his views on geopolitics, and he happens to be a huge fan of The Clash. He separated his fandom from this look into the effects of Strummer's politics, and informs us of some of Joe's late-in-life changed points of view. 

The underlying theme is the music, which was Joe's (and the band's) way of speaking out. Inside his left-leaning views you can feel Gall's incredible admiration for Strummer. He informs deeply on the many facets of Joe and his life, which our previous episodes about "the only band that matters" could not. 

We highly recommend his book, the punk rock politics of Joe Strummer! Also available at other outlets (just don't go to the "A place"!) Clash fans, please take notes and hit us with your feedback at [email protected]!
