Summary
"The quintessential rude boy, punker, rebel musician, artist, and activist, Joe Strummer wrote some of the most important music of the last century. Strummer transformed punk rock from its early associations with reactionary and nihilistic politics into a social movement. Let Fury Have the Hour collects articles, interviews, essays, and reviews that chronicle Strummer's life both as a musician and a political activist."--BOOK JACKET.
