What Are They Thinking?
Posted 19 September, 2007 in Music |
Item, from today’s Globe and Mail, page R3:
Punk legends the Sex Pistols announced yesterday that they will stage a one-off gig in November to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their controversial album Never Mind the Bollocks.
I saw the Sex Pistols in the ’90s, which is something I’m almost ashamed to admit. The Filthy Lucre Tour: at least they were honest about their motives. But the show was shite, and seeing the Sex Pistols without Sid Vicious is like seeing the Doors without Jim Morrison. It’s not even the same band.
Next thing you know the Doors are going to stage a reunion tour with Ian Astbury of the Cult on lead vocals. Oh, hang on a tick …

I wonder if there’s any chance of Warren Kinsella and the Hot Nasties being an opening act for the crummy codgers.
