This autobiography from The Clash (due 11.04) should make for some great reading - it's shaping up to be a fascinating account of "the only band the mattered" with zero punches pulled. Even fired drummer Topper Headon collaborated on the book, and according to a blurb in Page Six, bears no ill will for missing out on a few years of rock superstardom:
"I was out of control...On the tour of the Far East, I was standing in a lift with Joe [Strummer] and he's saying: 'How can I sing all these antidrug songs with you stoned out of your head behind me?'"
