Ed,

Thanks for bringing it up. I purchased "Let's Rock Again" last week and I echo your observations; it truly is fantastic. It's fascinating to watch Joe, who had reached the pinnacle of rock stardom with the Clash, working so hard again with a young, hungry band of players (The Mescaleros), as they struggle to sell records and concert tickets. It's hard for me to overstate how much Joe Strummer meant to me. I forget a lot of things in life but I distinctly remember, as a 17 year-old in the late 70's, playing the import version of "The Clash" incessently in my bedroom. Joe spat out politically charged lyrics like a machine gun; singing of dead-end jobs, cultural imperialism, and the state of race relations. A far cry from the usual rock fare and I was hooked.  It remains the most vital music I have ever heard and is unquestionably my desert island record, even all these years later. Joe made more than his share of missteps during his career. This documentary portrays him in the final year or so of his life. He remained curious, passionate, and vital, until the end. The uninitiated should check this film out, and work their way through the Clash and Mescaleros catalog.
