Okay, yes, I'd never heard of them at all.
Oh, I've heard of Johnny Rotten.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

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)?

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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
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.

I'm currently in the middle of reading the Lemony Snicket book that takers place at the Carnival, and I'm imagining Msbelle as Sunny disguised as a wolf-child, but wearing a PiL shirt, going all "grrrr".
