The 3 Johns.

Malcolm slaps his head and realises that he has the wrong
SEX shop front man...for the Sex Pistols.

What's this about, once there were a load of Johns....

They were John Simon Ritchie, John Wardle and
John Lydon. I know there are more Johns but 3 will do for our
porpoises.

One of the three Johns "Jah Wobble" came into the studio. The first PIL bassist. He's a spiritual guy. Analisa! Fodderstompf, Religion, Lowlife, Theme. Great deep bass work from Jah. I saw him at Glastonbury on a small stage with a troupe of whirling dervishes, the "Invaders of the Heart."

So Jah talked about his bass and the cows of Cheshire. Is London becoming crack city, smack central er like Hogarth but without the gin? Well what's it like on the tube - the subway sect. Jah Knows!

Mr Wardle Wobble recalled that Sidnay was upset because
he wasn't the lead singer of the Sex pistols. Well he did
"kind of" 2nd. prize in the Great Rock n Roll Swindle.
"My Way," "Somefin else," "C'mon everybody" but hear!
We heard it from the mahf of one of the three John's.
I saw that interview with Malcy. I didn't believe it.
Cash from Chaos!

It was on a BBC 3. television 2004 documentary concerning
the performer/manager relationship. EMI, A&M, Virgin, Today
God save Bill Grundy. Press conferences, Nancy and that film.
The usual suspects. With a special focus on
Malcolm Mclaren and John Lydon.

The show was called, "Blood on the turntable. The Sex Pistols."

Transcript of the interview confirmed by Jah Wobble on
Steve's show follows...

Mclaren: "Vivienne (Westwood) said:

"There's a guy Malcolm you should check out
comes in the shop (SEX) regularly."

and in walked a guy who I kept looking at and I thought
he's got something about this guy..."

(John's dead shower head "Eighteen" audition followed.)

Mclaren: "Well the terrible thing that happened between me an Lydon was when Vivienne finally saw who actually this John was in the group; she told me I'd got the wrong guy!

I said,

"Oh my God what are you talking about..?"

(she) said:

"That's not the 'John' I meant, there's another 'John.'"
"She was right, there was another John. It was a friend
of his...John Simon Ritchie, otherwise known as Sid Vicious."

Pistolology!

Blog business...

A fast moving week and we without a blog. Apart from
those wise folk who used an earlier one. The one that
went missing has not come home yet and possibly won't.
The archives are not complete but you won't find the "enjoy."
Shame because the Society of the spectacle is there - seeing
as Pie was thinking of getting some Paris Hilton shades - an
obscure connection.

Jewell: "You would look like a bug."

Ah that was the enjoy!

Mr. S(h)ovel the EnGiNeEr has given us a new blog, PRAISE A+A+A+A+A.
