Is it weird that my favorite Sex Pistols song isn’t the one where they try to destroy society, but the number where they’re bitching about their record company?
Gobbling shmedibles and having a little punk party?
Yup!
I suppose there are worse ways to spend a Sunday. Gonna watch The Filth and the Fury?
Also yup!
Good plan.
If you get in the mood for the artsy farsty American punks and precursors, we watched this a couple of months ago (I think on Amazon Prime) and thought it was surprisingly well done and informative . . .

You know what showed up on Amazon recently is “24 Hour Party People.” Now that’s an entertaining movie.
Add to the list of good things that emerged from the Pistols:
-PiL – I’m a fan
-Steve Jones’ radio program “Jonesy’s Jukebox.” Well, it kinda sucked recently as guest booking was less friends-of-Jonesy and more rock stars with a publicist and something to sell. It may be gone altogether for all I know. Regardless, that show was, for a while totally fun and spontaneous, He’d play whatever he felt like, drop impromptu performances. Show had a good run.
Love “24HPP” movie and love PiL . . . their late career resurgence and line-up were/are (?) most enjoyable, especially the “This Is PiL” album.
Yeah, I like that record a lot . . .
music nerds will forever disagree, but the 90’s produced the best punk music. Bands like Rancid, Nofx, and Bad Religion may not have invented the form but they certainly perfected it. Listen to the Decline by nofx and tell me it isn’t my generations terrapin station.
