So then why all the criticism of Strummer?
Most of the criticism I've read accuses his lyrics of being obscure, unfocussed and lacking the coherence of his Clash work — and that they're not "about" anything.
While there are more than a few clunkers (like that Robocop line in Gangsterville), I think they're still pretty effective and evocative, though in a different way than his 76-85 work. And he still has more straightforward corkers like Burning Lights or X-Ray Style.
