Joe Strummer was a punk poet, musician, actor and all around icon. From the early punk days of The Clash to the last days of his eclectic solo work, he was a voice for the voiceless. He found fans among the critics and working class alike. His art still burns with an undeniable intensity decades after it was created, and nearly 20 years after his untimely death.
