Book Reviews of Redemption Song: The Ballad of Joe Strummer
Book Review: Easily the best
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read all the various Strummer biographies and found several of them quite good and entertaining. This one is by far the best.
The others do a fair job of telling what Joe did, and when, and with who etc etc. But I dont feel they really told who Joe was. This one does.
Redemption Song made me feel as if I really knew Strummer. This book, for me, changed Joe from being a kind of abstract musical legend and cultural prophet into a real human being with flaws and shortcomings and a real ego and temper. But it also reveals his innocence and kindness and good nature and humor.
The downside is, Redemption Song made me miss him even more, because after reading this book I had much more of a sense of what we lost when Joe died. I felt like I had lost a friend.
