Passion Is a Fashion: The Real Story of the Clash by Pat Gilbert

4.0

I love the Clash. I do. I love everything about them. So why did it take me this long to read this book? It's dense. Jam-packed. Every paragraph has at least two different anecdotes. This isn't a bad thing. Not at all. Actually, it's a good thing, because you really get to know their band personalities and how they interact. It's light on the personal info (which is fine, that's all been covered in other sources mentioned in the last chapter), but heavy on band inspirations, interactions and important performances. I liked this book a lot. Just give yourself time to take it slow and drink it in.
