I Should Have Known Better ( Part 55 ).
I went to see the Sex Pistols last night. It has always rankled that I missed seeing them when they played just up the road in High Wycombe - twice - in their early days. True, I was a callow youth, but I really should have been there. I was able to resist the Filthy Lucre tour in 1996, and the Queen's Golden Jubilee gig in 2002, however I was strangly drawn to attending the latest reunion.
Ouch, I loathed it. Johnny made all his moves, the manic eye swivelling and spiteful rhetoric. But Steve Jones and Glen Matlock did all in their powers to make it sound like a Foreigner concert. Lots and lots of heavy U.S. rock riffs and posturing.
Not pleasant.
