There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Public Image Ltd is noted for its lead singer, John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten.

Okay, yes, I'd never heard of them at all.
Oh, I've heard of Johnny Rotten.

No "Death Disco"? No, "Anger is an energy!" No deep bassy dub rumblings bolstering rantings? No Keith Levene guitar reverb (from which The Edge stole a goodly portion of his schtick)?

Jah Wobble!!!!
Oh, this was after the Sex Pistols. See, I've heard of the Sex Pistols.
You're going to have to stop being surprised when I don't know things before, say, 1990.
My first year in NYC (1989/90) I went to a PiL concert alone (at the Palladium RIP). I was scared, of course, coming downtown by myself on the subway. I wore my combat boots and necklace out of bullets. I was at teh stage as was my want back in those days and had to fight all night to keep my space an not get pulled into the pit or get smushed. Johnny harrassed the crowd all night and finally just left the stage and heckeled us from off stage saying we were not loud and cool enough for him. I was loving the show, but I was so over him by the end of teh night.
I bought a t-shirt with day glo PiL logos all over it, but I think that has disappeared long ago. I was soaking wet by the time I left and I remember someone tried to talk to me on the subway back home. I had no idea what to do to make them go away so I growled. it worked.
oh lord, so long ago. sweet little baby msbelle.
No "Death Disco"? No, "Anger is an energy!"
"THIS IS NOT LOVE SONG!"
