International Society of Music Snobs & Elitists: SEX PISTOLS GRAFFITI A CULTURAL TREASURE
International Society of Music Snobs & Elitists: SEX PISTOLS GRAFFITI A CULTURAL TREASURE
A recent renovation of the house where the Sex Pistols were based has brought some new discoveries to light. It appears that inside the home were scribbles and graffiti on the wall done by the band while were encamped here. Most of the work was done by Johnny Rotten with obvious disdain…
This is great.
During the peak of punk, I had Steve Jones of The Sex Pistols swimming in my pool at 999 N. Dohney Drive. All of the tenants in the building were horrified! I am still friends with Steve today and we are neighbors.
On this day in music history: December 1, 1976 – The Sex Pistols appear on the Thames television program “Today” with Bill Grundy. Booked as a last minute replacement for label mates Queen, the band appears on the show to promote their debut single “Anarchy In The UK”. Irritated by Grundy’s condescending attitude during the interview, guitarist Steve Jones will spew expletives at the host during the show’s last few moments. The incident will spark a massive furor making the band instantly infamous, putting them on the front page of every newspaper in the country.
