The people who run the Roxy have cancelled the Boxing Day gig and the chairman of EMI told them they've got a week to become nice well-behaved rockstars or he might consider cancelling their contract because "public duty" comes before financial considerations. How boring. What a load of shit. Since when did EMI or any of those old cunts put "public duty" before their precious money or the security it gives them. What it really is is they feel that security is threatened just by what the Pistols represent. And how could anything that appears on ITV offend public decency. There isn't any public decency - people only know what's decent by being told by ITV and the rest of the media and EMI too. Previous Page | Next Page
