But I think it IS possible to make a movie about that event without showing any band performances or using any music by the bands in that concert film.
When’s someone going to make a film about the highway patrolman who saw the hordes of humanity decend on his small town and then come asking for food, lodging, and psychiatric care. Plus the antiauthoritarian attitudes meant he probably suffed a bit of torment and verbal abuse from young snots who made a “cool” comment on the way to the everlasting party while “the man” had to stay on the clock and do his job without losing his temper.
Kind of an anti-road movie.
Could be a good drama in there.
But Hollywood can't make that film. They have to continue to propagate the baby boomer myths.
Exclusive: Sex Pistols legend John Lydon blasts ‘coward’ Pete Doherty

...“Anarchy In The UK is a damn fine folk tune,” Rotten insisted. “The Sex Pistols, Public Image and everything I have ever been involved with to me has always been folk music. If I can't sing my songs in a local social club or church gathering then they're pointless.I celebrate my culture and all of these songs are as valid today as they were 30 years ago, as indeed a true traditional folk song is. The words mean something. Maybe I'm lucky I just happened to speak the truth.
“All true folk music is from the heart and truthful. There is a difference between us and what you would jokingly call punk rock. Our audiences know it and the world is beginning to pay attention but it might be too late because the haemorrhoids are now causing a terrible problem.”
The irony of that statement, of course, is that, at 52, he is now almost 20 years older than Jagger was back in the Seventies when Rotten derided him for being too ancient to rock.
“Whatever age I am, the point is I give 100 per cent and that will never change,” Rotten says in his defence.
“That requires a helluva lot of energy.” Recalling the doors that opened for new bands in the wake of punk, Rotten added: “Bands like the Rolling Stones procured for themselves a system of hierarchy in the industry and they cancelled any opportunity for young bands to break in.
“They closed the doors on us and I have never viewed them very well because of that. Although Ron Wood is a great chap, fun to hang out with, but what does that mean?
“The wonderful world of entertainment was totally dominated by the rigidity of what was called the hippie movement. They became the new Nazis and they poisoned the music industry. They absolutely did."
Meanwhile, he insists Live At: Loch Lomond is a far better music festival than Glastonbury despite the fact that it is still finding its feet.
"Glastonbury was a tragedy," he said. "It originated as a hippy fest when hippiedom worked. Then rave was introduced to Glastonbury which was wonderful. Now I look at it and it is like Butlins for the middle-class.
"It is so orchestrated. It was awful to see it. I felt the same way playing at the Isle Of Wight. It is orchestrated deck chair seating and gay rainbow flag waving. It's very, very absurd...
