# hokay well
I never said he called himself a punk, that's what other people called him and if you'd seen recent pics of him, you'd see what I meant. I'm not calling him dumb, I'm not saying he's not smart or calculating, i'm just saying he looks like an idiot. And trust me, i have researched him quite a good bit. The Pistols are one of my favorite bands, i've done a lot of research on them.

# The problem I have found
with the whole "Pistols pioneering punk music" is that it's a farce.

Sex Pistols - Manufactured 'boy-band'. McLaren captured hold of something good that was happening and took some East-End scumbags, taught them how to play instruments, and put them forward as a new venture.

John Lydon annoys me, for the fact he was supposedly punk (regardless of whether he claimed to be punk or not) yet, having seen him recently doing interviews, his morals and his attitudes are that of a middle-class tory voter. and it seems he's always felt like this. Totally the contrary of everything he was the "face" for.

and that's my problem with the Pistols. Still, God Save The Queen is a good song.
