In a Target parking lot of all places. A burr headed, thick, neck-rolled character around late thirties or early forties in age, driving a newish boxy SUV driving toward the parking lot exit blasting the Sex Pistols. It was "EMI", a mid-deep cut in their relatively short discography. Burr Head either had the LP, or was well versed enough in the Pistols that he was on round two of favorites. Not a big deal? It was the first time I'd heard the Sex Pistols blasting from a car in what must be decades. I love it when I hear a great song in the wild.
It reminded me that I'd recently seen a live clip of Generation Sex. Generation Sex is two members of Generation X and two Sex Pistols. That is, Billy Idol and Tony James (bass) from Gen X, and Steve Jones (guitar) and Paul Cook (drums). The cool thing about the clip was that they all looked relatively healthy, particularly when you consider they're all in their sixties. The clip is from this years Glastonbury festival (or whatever it is). The odd thing was that Blondie played the same festival, with original Pistol Glen Matlock on bass. Ain't no Cash From Chaos I know.
