Re: Sex Pistols
Yep. I listen to his radio show a bit he is very honest and open. It is refreshing.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑27 Feb 2020, 12:21pmHe's a guy that's dealing with his demons by being more humble instead of being more assholish.revbob wrote: ↑27 Feb 2020, 12:15pmBy very minute degrees.

Re: Sex Pistols
Thanks for posting this. Twenty-year-old Lydon had a scary amount of menacing charisma married to a raw and bitter intelligence. In a different era, he would have been political agitator and/or terrorist.

Re: Sex Pistols
Great find Marky, thanks. I've only seen about half of that clip before, if that. Great quality too.

Re: Sex Pistols
Shame the dude never found a systematic critique to anchor his understanding of the world. He distrusts socialism because the first gasps of neoliberalism was defining the Labour government of the 70s, so he's been vulnerable to the rightward drift that has brought him to pathetic Farage-isms lately.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑08 Mar 2020, 11:09amThanks for posting this.

Re: Sex Pistols
His understandable bitterness and suspicion of power sent him to the false liberty of neoliberalism. He's a teenage libertarian who never made the effort to critically evaluate his beliefs. That he's succeeded materially under that system has also undoubtedly clouded his vision of whether it's actually just. That painful documentary where he's on the bus complaining about what's become of London—well, John, how and why do you think that's happened? That he spouts peace and love and freedom, yet expresses sympathy with monsters suggests he's not as suspicious of power as he claims.Silent Majority wrote: ↑08 Mar 2020, 11:57amShame the dude never found a systematic critique to anchor his understanding of the world.

Re: Sex Pistols
Yes agreed mate. It's a shame that the footage of Anarchy that makes up that clip has been wiped by the BBC.
Because it is another version of the track. My guess is it's one of the many Wessex takes they cut.
