Angry in Tunbridge

It was nice to be confirmed as not yet having fallen into Daily Telegraphism last night. BBC3 showed the first part of Blood on the Turntable about the Sex Pistols and while it was slightly disconcerting to see how plain cuddy John Lydon has become ("I miss the silly sausage" - about Sid Vicious), I was still as angry about the various local dignitaries denouncing the Pistols and Punk Rock in general. Having said that, I bet all those bearded interferers went home to their Dave Brubeck records.

Currently Listening to Time Further Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet - How is this man still touring?

Still, Tank-tops do have that effect on a lot of people.

Not that I was into Punk at the time. It all seemed a bit silly really but then again I was at a rural school so far away from the various haunts of John and Sid that most kids thought it was OK to listen to both Led Zepelin and The Sex Pistols at one go. John Lydon did once admit that he quite liked some prog-rock anyway.
