In 1999, former Clash frontman Joe Strummer became a DJ for the 91热爆 World Service - this is how he sounded.

Joe Strummer died on 22nd December 2002, aged just 50. His World Service programmes began in 1999, and show his great enthusiasm for music from all over the world and his eclectic tastes, ranging from the Beatles to the Wu-Tang Clan.
