4αλλά εγώ δεν φοβάμαι./ Επειδή το Λονδίνο θα πλημμυρίσει/,και εγώ θάμαι ο πρώτος γιατί ζω δίπλα στο ποτάμι
"London's drowning and I live by the river," comes from the concern that if the Thames burst its banks, most of central London would be flooded. Strummer was actually living in a high-rise flat when he penned this.

Βιογραφία
Τζο Στράμερ Γεννήθηκε το 1952 στην Άγκυρα ως Τζον Γκράχαμ Μέλορ. Ασχολήθηκε από μικρός με τη μουσική και το τραγούδι και όταν ήταν έφηβος έπαιζε στους σταθμούς του μετρό του Λονδίνου με ένα γιουκαλίλι[7]. Ήταν έναν από τους συνιδρυτές των Clash το 1976 και ο frontman τους μέχρι το 1986, όταν και διαλύθηκαν[8]. Ο Στράμερ είχε αποκτήσει πολλά χρήματα λόγω της επιτυχίας του συγκροτήματος, όμως ζούσε σε κοινόβια και μοίραζε το εισόδημά του στους συγκατοίκους και στους φίλους του[9].

Their songs tackled social decay, unemployment, racism, police brutality, political and social repression, and militarism in detail. Strummer was involved with the Anti-Nazi League and Rock Against Racism campaigns. He later also gave his support to the Rock Against the Rich series of concerts organized by the anarchist organization Class War.
The Clash's London Calling album was voted best album of the 1980s by Rolling Stone magazine (although it was released in late 1979 in the UK, it was not released until 1980 in the US).[15]

Οι Clash έγιναν οι κυριότεροι αφηγητές της ιστορίας που εξελισσόταν μπρος στα μάτια τους. Μετά τη διάλυση των Sex Pistols πήραν τα ηνία της νέας μουσικής πραγματικότητας. Μετά το χάος και την αυτοκαταστροφή των τελευταίων, η παρέα του Στράμερ αναδυόταν προσφέροντας επανάσταση με αιτία και επιχειρήματα.

Politics
The Clash's music was often charged with left-wing ideological sentiments.[94] Strummer, in particular, was a committed socialist.
The Clash is credited with pioneering the advocacy of radical politics in punk rock and was dubbed the "Thinking Man's Yobs" by NME.[95]
Like many early punk bands, the Clash protested against monarchy and aristocracy; however, unlike many of their peers, they rejected nihilism.[44] Instead, they found solidarity with a number of contemporary liberation movements and were involved with such groups as the Anti-Nazi League.
On 30 April 1978, the Clash played the Rock Against Racism concert in London's Victoria Park for a crowd of 50–100,000 people;[96] Strummer wore a T-shirt identifying two left-wing guerrilla groups: the words "Brigade [sic] Rosse"—Italy's Red Brigades—appeared alongside the insignia of West Germany's Red Army Faction.[97][98]
The moment that best exemplifies the Clash ... took place in August 1977, at a music festival in Liege, Belgium. The band was playing before 20,000 people and had been under fire from a crowd that was throwing bottles at the stage. But that wasn't what bothered lead singer Joe Strummer. What enraged him was a 10-foot-high barbed-wire fence strung between concrete posts and forming a barrier between the group and the audience ... [He] jumped from the stage and attacked the fence, trying to pull it down ...
The Clash were the only performers at the show who tried to do anything about the obstacle. They were more willing to run the risk of the crowd than to tolerate barbed wire that was meant to fend off that crowd. This is more or less what the Clash was about: fighting the good fight that few others would fight.[6]
—Rock historian Mikal Gilmore. Their politics were made explicit in the lyrics of such early recordings as "White Riot", which encouraged disaffected white youths to riot like their black counterparts; "Career Opportunities", which addressed the alienation of low-paid, routinized jobs and discontent over the lack of alternatives; and "London's Burning", about the bleakness and boredom of life in the inner city.[99] Artist Caroline Coon, who was associated with the punk scene, argued that "[t]hose tough, militaristic songs were what we needed as we went into Thatcherism".[100]
The band's political sentiments were reflected in their resistance to the music industry's usual profit motivations; even at their peak, tickets to shows and souvenirs were reasonably priced.[44] The group insisted that CBS sell their double and triple album sets London Calling and Sandinista! for the price of a single album each (then £5), succeeding with the former and compromising with the latter by agreeing to sell it for £5.99 and forfeit all their performance royalties on its first 200,000 sales.[103]
These "VFM" (value for money) principles meant that they were constantly in debt to CBS and only started to break even around 1982.[1]
Their songs tackled social decay, unemployment, racism, police brutality, political and social repression, and militarism in detail. Strummer was involved with the Anti-Nazi League and Rock Against Racism campaigns. He later also gave his support to the Rock Against the Rich series of concerts organized by the anarchist organization Class War.

Πολιτικές πεποιθήσεις
Η μουσική των Clash συνδέθηκε συχνά με μια αριστερή πολιτική ιδεολογία.
Ο Στράμερ είχε παραδεχτεί δημόσια τις κομμουνιστικές του πεποιθήσεις.
Οι Clash υπήρξαν πρωτοπόροι στην υπεράσπιση αριστερών ιδεών μέσω της μουσικής του πανκ ροκ και χαρακτηρίστηκαν ως τα «αγόρια του σκεπτόμενου ανθρώπου» (“The Thinking Man's Yobs”) από το μουσικό περιοδικό NME.[47][48] Όπως πολλά άλλα συγκροτήματα του πανκ, διαμαρτυρήθηκαν εναντίον της μοναρχίας και της αριστοκρατίας.
Όμως, αντίθετα με τους υπόλοιπους μουσικούς του κινήματος, απέρριψαν τον μηδενισμό.[49] Αντί αυτού, υποστήριξαν πολλές σύγχρονες απελευθερωτικές οργανώσεις και ανέπτυξαν επαφές με κοινωνικές ομάδες, όπως την αντιναζιστική Anti – Nazi League..
Οι πολιτικές πεποιθήσεις των Clash είναι φανερές σε στίχους πρώιμων ηχογραφήσεων, όπως στο White Riot, όπου ενθαρρύνουν τη νεολαία να γίνει πολιτικά δραστήρια, στο Career Opportunities, που απευθύνονται στην αποξένωση των χαμηλόμισθων τετριμμένων επαγγελμάτων και στο London's Burning, όπου γίνεται αναφορά στην ανία της ζωής στην πόλη.
