  And you thought that we were faking
  That we were all just money making
  You do not believe we’re for real
  Or you would lose your cheap appeal?

• [snagglepuss]

  Cue the knee-jerk reactionary, puritan punk hold-outs, who will be stupid enough to blame the Pistols for this, and not the collector’s market.

    Correct, this item is like, say… Mickey Mantle’s rookie baseball card, with a life of its’ own.

    Not only but also (to quote a BBC show), the Pistols have also become a beloved sing-along pub classic that segues seamlessly with “With A Little Help From My Friends”.

    As for Wyatting, also a UK phenomenon, now that is cultural guerrilla warfare. And the wyatting go-to choice is (or was) Lou Reed’s “Metal Machine Music”.

     ”Were as the ancient Sex Pistols have gone to memorabilia, her Majesty continues at the throne” Well, actually, that just serves to prove the Sex Pistols right.
