Joe Strummer's Campfires

Julien Temple on The Future is Unwritten:

"The flickering flame and the mystery of the face half-obscured give you a lot more drama visually. It's also a great place to interview someone because they lose their self-consciousness when looking in the flames.

There's also something about the circle around the fire. I wanted people to get the idea that Joe's life did close a circle at the end. ... he made it clear that he thought [these campfires] were the most important thing he'd ever done, more even than the music. He brought together people from madly different backgrounds: duchesses and priests and car-thieves and soldiers. ... He'd just say let's have a fire! And he'd have one every other week. They'd go on for five days in his yard."

This relates to an earlier blog entry inspired by Joe
