In 1978 I was in college in Western PA which was a territory heavily occupied by the forces of REO Speedwagon... I didn’t catch up with the Pistols, etc... until I got out.

I didn’t know Paul Cook had ever left. I know Glen Matlock got booted because he wasn’t “punk” enough...”

He didn’t really manage the Dolls so much as screw them over...just like he did to the Pistols...

I wonder what ever happened to the Pistols' guitarist, Steve Jones?

He was really great...

They would have graduated you early for having said “The Sex Pistols”. Goofy world, huh?

I think he works in a haberdashery with the guitarist from Tap blocking hats.

I haven’t heard it since probably 1986.

That’s what management is for. You can’t expect bands to do that all themselves!

He played a lot of session guitar in the 1980s and then in the recent era had a radio show but it got cancelled. Don’t know now.

Last I heard he plays x-box at home in LA.

‘The Fascist regime....that made you a moron” is becoming more relevant today than ever.

Maybe that is the mixup I made in the names.

MUCH later Lydon realized that Malcolm was instigating anger between the two of them.

Well considering who is next in line for the throne, “God Save the Queen...We Mean it, Man!” makes a lot of sense.

He was just using the band to showcase his new inventory.

Maybe.

Malcolm owned a clothing store. Everything was about money.

Did Malcolm release the SPUNK (sex pistols album bootleg just before the official album release) album or was that someone else? No one has ever gone on record about it.

Sorry.
Does it make you feel any better to know that I’m hitting the big four-oh this year?

From the rarified air of the half century mark... not really. ;)
