Although mine was "what if clapton fell out the window & his son started complaining about 'wogs'" xp

Wondering about the literary merits of the old testament in Hebrew.

the Psalms, Job, Jonah and the Song of Solomon are among the greatest literature ever produced imo. of them I've only translated a phrase or two from Psalms & SOS (and the little Hebrew I studied for a year in college has long since atrophied) but iirc the word is the OT in Hebrew has quite stunning literary merit

Job needs more car chases and people being kicked in the face IMO, but I guess that'll have to wait for the movie version. Jason Statham is...JOB.

Imagine an alternate timeline where Tony Hadley and Ian Curtis were touring as part of Blue Wedge.

What if someone had started another thread about Lydon’s politics and the life hadn’t been sucked out of this awesome one?

No suitable thread to comment on, so picking this one..

Yeah, John’s talking tour gets pulled in Glasgow because his tour manager was aggressive with staff.

No news story has named the tour manager, but.

I’d not bother with this, but some comments allude to a high possibility that the Glasgow venue has ‘form’ for being .. dunno.

I mean, what would a tour like this need, beyond a chair, table and a mic?

It's probably John "Rambo" Stevens, his long time manager/henchman

Total psycho apparently

Friend was managing a gig for a local venue a couple years ago around the time that comeback album that was decent came out, she said they were a total nightmare and she almost got into it with someone in the camp

Not exactly surprised that Lydon is surrounded by boorish wankers tbh.

i think he is just an old hooligan friend of lydon's from his youth that just kept hanging around as his enforcer

there's a um....tribute video to him on youtube lol, quite something

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUqHd0POosI

Video: Carnival Cruise Line
Audio: Ian Curtis "This is the way, step inside..."

there must be literally hundreds of sad old football hooligan tossers nicknamed Rambo in the UK, they should all get together for a death match until there is only one true Rambo left.

Not all of them get to spend their entire adult lives wiping the arse of a friend who ended up famous.

On another note, I've only seen Lydon in-person once (in 2018 at PIL's Brooklyn stop), and I was surprised by how sheepish he seemed to be when he wasn't on and the music wasn't playing. During a song, it all melted away, and it was still like daggers when he flashed that famous stare directly at you, but outside of that, he seemed like a polite, harmless and insecure guy. I hadn't seen a picture of him in a while so I thought maybe it was because he had put on so much weight. (He seems to have lost a bit of it now.)
