I've decided to believe in punk rock after all. EMI have signed the Sex Pistols and I ain't about to be outcooled by those dumboes. The Sun had a center spread on THIS NEW PHENOMENON and pix of all the kids in their safety pins. Safety pins!?!?!? What sort of phenomenon is this, I ask, as it spreads from London and produces the best music paper ever called Sniffin ' Glue. It was Sniffin' Glue that convinced me. Mick, who plays with a punk band called Clash, explained to the mag about Americans: "They don't know what the fuckin' dole is, where as we're down the hole anyway, coppin' our monev off Rod Stewart's taxes!"

Nice one Mick and I hope you get a good whack.
