GOD SAVE THE SEX PISTOLS
It's been 25 years since "Never Mind The Bollocks... Here's The Sex Pistols" was released. The album is known far and wide by just about anyone with an interest in rock. Even if you never heard a single one of their songs, the names Sid Vicious, and Johnny Rotton are known to many. Funny thing is that their populariy in the states is a fairly recent thing. That watershed album didn't even go gold in the US (Sales of 500,000 copies) until i was a senior in high school. I was 8 when it was released so you do some math ok? The fact of the matter is that the pistols will never be remembered for their music. They will instead live in the infamy that are the deaths of SId Vicious and Nancy Spungen. It will be the way they bewildered an American audience in the Burgeoning Post Elvis era. It will be the notion that any talentless prick with balls could make a career in entertainment for themselves. Punk is Dead! Long live the Punk!
go and tell me all about it
