There are many things you could try if you wanted to experience what it was like to be Joe Strummer, who died ten years ago next month. You could be a gravedigger, or live in a squat, or play minor film roles in Nicaragua, or front one of the greatest bands ever.
Or you do it the easy way by listening to Dillinger, Leroy Smart and Delroy Wilson (a cool operator). Then finish it off with some UK pop-reggae courtesy of Ken Boothe and - hey presto - it is just like being a white man in the Hammersmith Palais.
This is the easy way.
"Natty Dread A De Ruler" - Dillinger
"Ballistic Affair" - Leroy Smart
"Show Me The Way" - Delroy Wilson
"A Man Is A Man" - Ken Boothe
Here's the real thing. And if you've ever wondered what it would be like in French, you're in for a treat.
