    Who Killed Nancy? Not Sid, Documentary Claims

    Awesome Aussie Grandmas Perform Sex Pistols Song

    Formerly Punk & Currently Quirky Vivienne Westwood: "Why Don't People Tear Their Own Clothes?"

    What Do Mary-Kate, Ashley, Ralph Lauren, And Nike Have In Common? Not Enough Money, Apparently!

    Here's the thing...they are both dead. Their friends were junkies, addicts or touched with mental illness, which leaves them all about as credible as my grandmother is with the economic stimulus package.


    Nancy was hated by most because she was punk Yoko. She ruined the Sex Pistols, what there was to ruin is beyond me. But she will always be hated. Much like Courtney.

    I get really tired of hearing these dumb 'conspiracy' theories when famous people die. I have friends that are so into this shit and goddmamn it, sometimes i just wanna tell them to quit making some mysterious scandal out of nothing. Kurt shot himself, Marilyn o.d.'ed, elliot smith stabbed his guts, and jim morrison, jimi hendrix, elvis and andy kaufmann ARE DEAD!

    It's really lovely and interesting that this chap took the time to explore this option but, uh, it doesn't bring them back and there isn't anyone to hold responsible for her death?


    Maybe I'm just a big cynical jerk but I have a feeling this movie won't tell anyone shit about shit a la Kurt & Courtney.

    The Sid & Nancy movie pretty much glamorized them for all time, and somehow managed to make making out in the alley while garbage rains on you & dying of a heroin overdose seem romantic. I remained immune only because even the memory of Chloe Webb's screeching ("Siiiidddd!") makes my ears bleed.


    Also, that Howie Pyro comment is the dumbest thing I've heard this week (and I was in a room full of drooling stoners on Friday), but probably the best you can expect from someone who names themselves Howie Pyro.

    Howie Pyro, there is a difference between self-injury (which afflicts people beyond their teen years, you nitwit) and actually stabbing yourself in the stomach with a hunting knife.

    Does anyone know if the Rockets Redglare mentioned is the same one who was a pretty constant presence in NY filmed indie movies in the '80s?


    Hmm. Looking at imdb, yes. He was a band member of Sid's and a part of the downtown music/art world, I think.

    The excellent book PLEASE KILL ME has a different theory about who killed Nancy. It's a great read, especially if you have any interest in the beginnings of Punk in New York in the early seventies.
