Description
Johnny Green first met the Clash in 1977. A RIOT OF OUR OWN is his tale of three delirious years of rock 'n' roll madness as confidant and road manager of the Clash, from the early punk days to LONDON CALLING and touring America. Ray Lowry accompanied the band as official 'war artist' on the second American tour and designed the London Calling album cover. Together, Green and Lowry give the definitive, inside story on one of the most magnificent rock 'n' roll bands ever.Tags

Aside from the author assuming you already know a lot about the class, this book was a good insight into understanding the members of the band and their journey from them being together in London to touring America, from the early days to after Strummer's death. B&W photos and B&W cartoon illustrations by Ray Lowry.
Made me glad I'm not, and never will be, a roadie. Entertaining.
This is the best book I have read on the only band that matters.
wonderful blast of punk nostalgia.
