On punk rock music
I don’t really like pure punk rock music but do still like some post-punk stuff. This from The Irish Times:
“Based on guitarist and founding member Steve Jones’ raw, scattershot-style memoir Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol, the six-part Pistol, now streaming exclusively on Disney+, is a boisterous, ebullient, intensely visceral account of the swift rise and inevitable implosion of the band. In three short years the Sex Pistols managed to dismantle the face of pop music and be elevated to legendary status. The band are still as influential today as they were nearly 50 years ago.”
I think punk rock was very influential because, however angry, it added some seriousness into rock and roll. I still like a few songs from John Lydon’s post-punk band Public Image Limited.
