i thought it was a great interview. 8yrs on it makes me wonder where and in who the spirit of punk is hiding now ?

like for serious? they just come off as pompous wankers to me. especially all the "people nowadays, they've lost touch with (x)" speculation which in my mind = total blowhard. through, i dunno, baudrillard into the mix and there'd be stratospheric levels of self-satisfied hyperbole about the "zeitgeist."

"whole subversive fuck the world thing, i know it's cliche but whos doing that these days"
I feel the magnet-denials/fuck-the-worldism of ICP are subversive but in the wrong direction.

er what? momus has written that about punk numerous times here and on his various web sites. just strikes me as odd that he would reject the sex pistols and then look to mclaren as some kind of guru.

i saw a couple wearing matching ICP t-shirts in the health-food co-op today.
punk music was bollocks if you ask me but the DIY ethics and aesthetics were choice. McLaren was always more than the one dimension the sex pistols portrayed.
so yeah, dunno about guru but as a role model on how to make grand artistic statements irrespective of success, failure or morality, he was quite inspirational.

"time heals i wounds" is of course the bad brains version of "time heals all wounds"

Adam Ant - look'n like a hobo
...as if he needed the pic on his hat

I've must have seen a dozen WDYLL threads, and I'll be damned if there's a man or woman amongst us who can call Adam fucking Ant out for looking like a hobo.
― Soukesian, Thursday, 22 April 2010 20:57 (fourteen years ago) link
If only i knew what a WDYLL thread was ?
Just sayin prince charming seems a lifetime ago. Anyone got a full frontal of the pic to see how the head matches the rest of the ensemble ?
or a photostream of the funeral/procession. It sounded fittingly grand and irreverently spectacular.

he looks good for his age, tho.
regarding mclaren being some sort of shady, untrustworthy character in business deals...
what did he actually do that was so bad? aside from kicking adam ant out of his own band. or is this just a rep he played up himself?
