The only internationally successful, million-selling group to
emerge from the late seventies London punk scene, the Clash set out
to change the world with a potent mix of politics, iconic imagery,
and blazing rock 'n' roll. It was an agenda mirrored in the Clash's
music, which swiftly evolved from ferocious punk rock to
incorporate reggae, ska, funk, jazz, soul, and hip-hop. "Passion Is
a Fashion" draws on over 70 interviews with the key participants in
the story--roadies, producers, friends, and fans--and conversations
with the Clash: Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, and Topper
Headon. The first book to give real insight into what went on
behind the scenes during the Clash's ten-year career, it charts the
Clash's picaresque progress through the days of the early punk
scene and their groundbreaking Rock Against Racism gigs, to the
arduous touring, to their break out in America, and the making of
the classic "London Calling" album, all the way to the band's
eventual dissolution and the sudden, sad death of frontman Joe
Strummer. Gritty, compelling, and above all authoritative, "Passion
Is a Fashion" is the biography the Clash has long deserved.
