John Lydon brings the pain to Tom Snyder, 1980

[TL]

Well then stop over to the BB King's at time square to see Pretty Vacant: America's Number One Tribute to the Filth and the Memories. We'll set you right. Tickets start at 30 dollars.

Yeah - what do you think about doing a costume change and coming out as PIL for a second set?

I love it, though it will require the name of the band to be even longer. It's great to be playing at the same venue that hosts legendary blues bands like Celtic Frost and the Average White Band.

the Average White Band.

I am proud to say that the only thing I know about this group is that there is a synthed-up version of one of their songs that plays when you open one of the ridiculous games my cell phone has on it ("midnight poker," hee hee hee). And I only know that because someone told me.

There is no pride in being ignorant of the accomplishments of Scotland's greatest funk band, Emma.

I'll have to contact the stylists from Hot Topic that will be sponsering us... but I think it isn't something that another BB King "handling fee" won't fix.

Mr. Lydon has been at it again. They headlined a festival in the UK yesterday, and according to NME reports, he was in good form.

"Good evening Isle Of Wight," Lydon said as he took the stage wearing a baggy stripy top and clutching a black book. "Tonight we will be singing songs from the book of Sod's law. Sing along or fucking die." ...

Later in the set the outspoken singer complained about the quality of bands on the festival bill, saying there were "still fucking homo bands coming up here."  ...

"There's not much fanny here," Lydon moaned after finishing the song. "It's all blokes. Put your tits away – I'm in trouble with the courts of law for that sort of thing." ...

"We never liked the moniker 'punk' right from the start," declared Lydon. "That’s something like the press gave to us or attached to us. I’ve always, myself personally bitterly rejected it. I don’t like the term. It means in American, you know, Mr Big’s Bum boy in prison. I really don’t think any big fat Yank fancies my bottom!"

"Mr Big's Bum Boy" is also a breakfast platter at Denny's.

LOLbowski.

All I'm saying about this is Iggy Pop played a song, bashed his nose, sat down with Tom Synder and was pleasant and articulate enough, and then played two more songs. Wendy O. Williams played a song, running all over the place, sat down with Tom Synder and was pleasant and articulate enough, played another song, took a sledgehammer to, and ultimately blew up, a Chevy Nova. John Lydon and Keith Levene, don't play any songs, smoke Tom's cigarettes, and give him an undeserved hard time. Shameful. 

My wife and just finished "The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder: Punk & New Wave" DVDs. My 8 month old LOVED the W.O.W. performance. It was precious.

p.s. Lydon and Levene made Patti Smith seem tan by comparison - sickliest looking guys I have ever seen.

No doubt!  They seemed to be oozing a little bit.

Bloc Party's Kele Okereke was involved in a fight with The Sex Pistols' frontman John Lydon at the Summercase festival on Saturday (July 19).

Branding the incident an "unprovoked racist attack", Okereke suffered severe facial bruising, cuts to his face and body and a split lip.

However, in a statement from the younger band they claimed that the Sex Pistols singer "became intimidating and aggressive while his entourage responded with a racist tirade including the statement, 'Your problem is your black attitude'."

Ugh. 
On the fast track to the Hate Pit.


In other news, The Clash's Tomorrow Show performance and interview is on the Clash Live: Revolution Rock DVD. Top shelf.

Just read this on Billboard and the biggest thing that surprised me was that Lydon has an entourage. Lydon's a big douche but I can't imagine how lame his 55year old punk followers are.
