Culture Clash: Dread Meets Punk Rockers ハードカバー – 2007/1/22
英語版
Don Letts
(著),
David Nobakht
(寄稿)
As a first-generation British-born black, Don Letts quickly learned to assimilate aspects of Jamaican culture into inner-city urban London life. Leaving school, he gravitated to Chelsea’s King’s Road, inhabiting the fashion world alongside Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren.
As resident DJ at the fledgling punk club The Roxy, Letts pumped a roots-reggae soundtrack to a predominantly white audience that included members of The Clash and the Sex Pistols, forging a link between the two clashing cultures.
A chance meeting provided him with a Super-8 movie camera, the result of which was released as The Punk Movie and set Letts on a career of influential videos featuring Sex Pistols, Pil, the Slits, The Clash, Bob Marley, and even the -platinum-selling Musical Youth. His feature films include Dancehall Queen, the Grammy Award-winning Westway to the World—his documentary on The Clash—and Clash on Broadway. He has recently directed feature documentaries for the BBC on Sun Ra and Gil Scott-Heron.
Alongside The Clash’s Mick Jones in Big Audio Dynamite, Letts pioneered dance culture and sampling techniques, hanging out with Africa Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash, and the cream of the New York City hip-hop scene.
Admired by Fellini, a friend of Bob Marley and John Lydon, and a documentarian of The Clash, Don Letts has never pigeonholed himself. This book is a firsthand account, told in Letts’ own words—it’s highly visual, revelatory, irreverent, entertaining, and staunchly individual.

This is an interesting but surface skimming account of what is an extraordinary life. Having followed his career - mainly via the Clash connection..from the Jah Wobble/Keith Levine 12" - Punk Rock Movie - Basement 5 - BAD -Screaming target - Dancehall Queen - Westway to the World and Punk Attitude..etc etc - here is a man who really managed to cross over cultures, absorb and interpret and create.
And he's right...or maybe we are both getting old and nostalgic...but so much creativity came out of punk...which nothing else really has managed to repeat.
Don Letts does drop names ....a lot of names...but influential and respected...not five minutes wonders....but quite how he got to produce a video for US "Hair Metal" band RATT is beyond me...
Having just recovered from the Strummer Biog...which is in so much detail..I find this a bit lacking in depth....I'd like to have found out more.
Maybe DL is a shining example for us all...he has kept the Rebel stance - while at the same time making some groundbreaking and crucial films/documentaries and music. He has taken what works for him from other cultures - but maintained his own roots...something I fear is not happening enough in the UK today!!
