Are you sure you saw PIL? Here is John two years ago. Not unusual for a xenophobic, racist alcoholic 64 year old hate filled man.

I don't understand how these old punks rationalize the fact that they hated Margaret Thatcher for being a fascist and now think she's not fascist enough.

It's like Morrissey writing a song in the 90s about how terrible english xenophobia is... and now he supports Brexit and expelling foreigners.

either way he wore it well that night, I recall him really blowing up shortly after

I never understood why kids treated Sid as some kind of punk god. He couldn't play bass and only co wrote 3 songs.

it's the aesthetic and that's as good a reason as any

christ it's not classical music

sex pistols wasn't exactly art. it was Malcolm McClaren trying to cash in on a trend in british popular music. it was a product. The whole thing was marketing. The opposite of punk or anarchy or whatever the fuck it was supposed to be.

that's all lydon has ever been. he records pop songs and curates a persona to market those songs. I like some of those songs. But like a lot of other rich white boomer men he is a privileged entitled fuck wit

i got this in the mail today

[reprise85]

lol congrats

[MyOneAndOnly]

I get discounts on everything now

[reprise85]

I get AARP stuff too but only because I'm on Medicare and they somehow get a list from there. I guess I am just assuming that because they also send me things for supplemental medical insurance and I can't think of any other way that makes sense for them to think I'm over 50.

Also wasn't AARP for over 65 not that long ago?

ugh

Malcolm McClaren is an artist, he was also the promoter of the New York Dolls

it's almost like saying dismissively that Velvet Underground were an Andy Warhol product

put on Never Mind the Bollocks tonight for the first time in a long time and nah this album still Rocks

it was a super great marketing ploy to get themselves banned from virtually every venue in the country and then dissolve at the peak of their popularity

lucky they did though because PiL is even better, it's insane really

let me help make Punk a sensation in the UK and then go off and invent a whole other genre

I dunno what goes through Lydon's mind, I wouldn't doubt that the guy is a racist shithead, he's still brilliant

lose your mind over a woman and crash your car Rock

[Elphenor]

I moved to Austin to start my "career" as a punk DJ and work with a friend on his indie label

but then Covid, so now I guess I'll be finishing my Sociology degree

either way I'm sure a fortune awaits me

[smashingjj]

what's that label

Rockabilly Ted in my home town lives the lifestyle. He used to own a weird rockabilly store (don't ask me what that means cause I couldn't figure it out myself). He also opened his own rockabilly bar.
