skippy's tuesday nite music club



public image ltd. - this is not a love song

as neil young once said, the king is dead but not forgotten, this is the story of johnny rotten

aka john lyndon, who, with ex-clash guitarist keith levene and jah wobble (john wardle), formed this "anti-punk" group in the late 70's, after his stint w/the sex pistols. tho the band stopped performing in '92, lyndon considers them to be "on hiatus" rather than broken apart.

Lydon has always impressed me with how many different funny faces he knows how to make. He must have driven his parents fucking nuts.

Ah PiL!

I remember them well. I saw their first show here in the city...Lydon performed behind a backlit screen.

We threw bottles at him.

Masterful audience rouser. Always felt ripped off & shortchanged when I saw him.

Kinda like the Obama of punk rock.

If that's the '81 Ritz show you're talking about, there's a bootleg of it here.

PiL FTW
