	Comment before you read: Been wanting to read this one for a while. Heard it was the definitive bio on the band. Always thought Joe Strummer was an awkward character, so i'm curious to read about his background.
	Comment after you read: Not too well written, felt like it skipped parts at some point... or it just assumed i knew certain things about the band already. But i do love the story of this band.. all the contradictions about what they stood for and who they were. Mick Jones being a dick to everybody. Strummer being a weirdo. I want to read more about Strummer himself though. Real interested in his character and what he's all about. Love how they're tied in with the Sex Pistols. Pretty good read.
