All low key on this 41st NBT anniversary but I did recently happen upon this. Pretty funny. The comments suggest that this portal
might have something to do with the ex-Sounds scribe Sandy Robertson but I
might be wrong. It wouldn’t be the tenth time. I imagine that my ‘beef ‘with
Sniffin Glue at the time was that I didn’t chime with their worldview and maybe
thought I should have a go at the zine lark myself. Mark turned out to be a
stand up guy. As did Tony D(rayton) and some other folks I might have had a pop
at. The folly of (relative) youth.
Talking out of my arse is an activity that I reserve the
right to practice to this very day. I did and said, often in print, some
incredibly stupid things based on the flimsiest even non-existent premise. I
don’t believe the claim that The Dictators were (and are) better than The
Pistols to be one of those however and I stand by that original statement.
For better or for worse and irrespective of what any bugger
thinks.
And congratulations to Sir Andy Shernoff for having our
namesake appear in the Season 3 premiere of the TV show, Billions. I never
watched it but those music placement folks on that show obviously know a
contender when they hear one.
