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.

O. M. G. This image amuses me greatly.
fierce and scary. that would've been me. grr.
That story rocks, 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".
It really does!
I like the Stone Roses, but I don't think that they're the best of anything - - probably not even of bands that came out of Manchester in the same year they did.
Here's the rest of the Observer list. Not great, but there's some gems on there.
Wow, here's some cluelessness (and some good stuff, too, to be fair) to remind us why politics & music are completely unrelated.
I'm looking to make myself a new mix cd- something along the lines of a "Hey you nitwit, snap out of it, it's summer, so be happy" kind of mix. (I spend lots of time in the car, so I make a lot of cds.) Anyone got any songs that shouldn't be left out?
