He was the guitarist in PiL btw. The little footage there is of the original lineup just proves how "out there" they were, showing up most punk bands to be just square as fcuk as Yes and all that shite. Harumph!
Now reading Steve Jones' book, and by feck he is just as honest as Viv (Albertine, guitarist Slits) was in hers. Split into 3 sections, I put it down just as they start rehearsing in earnest. Otherwise I would just have read the whole thing in one go. |
I went to a book event with Zoe Howe a couple of months back, she was with Celeste Bell talking about the Poly Styrene book they wrote together which is a bio pieced together by extracts from her journals and handwritten lyrics! Very interesting night and the book is lovely.
