Public Image perform Hard Times at Bristol Zoo on the kids Saturday morning programme 'Get Fresh'.There were complaints after John flicked the V's at the camera.
My great friend Shayne who passed away in 2020 is here waving at 3.25 (the blond guy in the crowd, to the left of Lydon) A friend who attended with him just sent me this & it's made my night. So nice to see my friend waving at me once more x
as i must agree with you on him having the ability to achieve more, i think the reasoning may be a bit different. I always appreciated the fact that JL never stooped to trends in music to sell a record. He has been an iconoclast on that front. His PIL work is a bit hard for most people to digest or understand. His ability to get a rise out of people is unparalleled. I believe he just does not want to be following trend. He would rather be creating something truly different.
Yeah we're having a repeat of that now, but worse, thanks to an unnecessary and not thought out shutting down of everything... for over a goddamn month. Idiots.
I think he's doing a great job on this...it's an absurd situation and he's not even attempting to lipsync in a convincing manner. Great song too. He's still got it.
I'd agree that "iconoclast' is the perfect def of JL, so I will amend my statetment to say that *one* of the reasons he never reached his potential was/is possible emotional/neurological issues. I'd agree that he never sought fame and fortune by taking the 'easy' way, but I don't believe he never wanted it. And there have been iconoclasts who've been leaders and and trend setters, but JL isn't one of them. I think his personality got in the way. (And his PIL work is my favorite JL era.) cheers
John great dresser in the pistols and here mid 1980s great clobber he was fined for doing the v signs as it was on Saturday morning get fresh show I watched it
