Hi mates,
I haven't seen this before, MTV 120 minutes in NY interviewing Strummer around the time when Trash City was released.

Re: Strummer interview Trash City era
Thanks for sharing this. One random thought from watching this is that Strummer wasn't really political. The man simply could see himself in others and others in himself. With that ability to sympathize it's natural that he spoke against the things that obscure our common roots and upheld the things that unite us. These things are never on the ballot, and inherently can't be, so it's rather a shame that such elevated consciousness was often described as politics.
Of course, that is a kind of politics, but it's so much more as well. The guy was a poet.
But just a couple of years earlier Joe had a bleached-blonde mohawk and Bernie Rhodes had a clutch of puppet strings attached to his shoulders. With the humility that came from that inevitable fall, it's no wonder that Joe was a bit more subdued here.
Another random thing -- I love just about all of the music referenced on the show. Ye Gods. MTV actually played some more than decent music for a while.
