“[Joe] Strummer was the driving force who helped give punk its “political edge”. I have a great admiration for the man. His most recent records are as political and edgy as anything he did with The Clash. His take on multi-cultural Britain in the 21st century is far ahead of anybody else. Without Joe, there’s no political Clash and without The Clash the whole political edge of punk would have been severely dulled.”

— Billy Bragg, News 24, BBC, 23 December 2002.
