JOE STRUMMER (1952-2002), British punk rocker, frontman for The Clash: Born in Ankara, he'd lived in Turkey, Germany, Egypt & Mexico by age 9 when his diplomat parents returned to the UK and sent him to boarding school. As songwriter for The Clash, his lyrics were "outward gazing"--concerned with the world. U2's Bono said, “The lyrics of Joe Strummer were like an atlas. They opened up the world to me and other people who came from blank suburbia."[HLT]
