The Clash's Joe Strummer embodied for many the marriage of music, radical politics, and internationalism. Joel Shalit and Craig O'Hara talk about the times in which The Clash and other political punk rock bands were spawned and examine the thorny issues that arise from the commercial success of rebel cultural groups and movements. (Encore presentation.)
