Clash guitarist reveals his Rock & Roll library

As a young boy, Clash guitarist Mick Jones would chase his football idols all over London for autographs. Then he discovered #music and dropped the autograph book but not his manic collecting. Over the years, the 53 year-old co-founder of one of Punk's biggest bands has amassed a mammoth collection of books, magazines, records, posters alongside artwork, recording gear, stage clothes and song lyrics from his time with The Clash and his other bands Big Audio Dynamite and Carbon/Silicon. Jones is finally showing this personal archive of popular culture at London's Chelsea Space gallery in an exhibit called the "Rock and Roll Public Library" that runs until April 18. - Reuters
