The Future is unwritten by Joe Strummer of the Clash
This is a documentary about Joe Strummer, the now deceased singer of the Clash, as he talks about how music can change the world. It is said to be a tribute, told by many of music’s great chieftains like Bono, about Joe’s influence, not only in the world of Rock & Roll but, about the role he/they as musicians and story tellers, play in today’s modern society.
The location of these interviews are in various campfire settings all around the world. Anything about sitting around a campfire, talking about life in relationship to our earthly existence and I’m in!
I must admit that I have NEVER SEEN THIS but, everyone and their dog seems to have thought of it as plain brilliant! A buddy of mine on his blog said …
The appearances of Johnny Depp, John Cusack and Steve Buscemi, who would have been enough to engross my train of thought for more then a passing moment, are just a side show compared to the words of Joe Strummer!
Along with great candid chats with yesterday’s and today’s Rock entertainers, we have the odd idiot thrown in, ie: David Lee Roth. In an entertainment article from the Star, they explain it to us. It certainly sounds like something he would say.
Has anyone here seen this doc? If so, what did you think of it AND do you think it’s worth seeing?
Keep on Jammin’ Joe Strummer where ever you are!
