The Anarchy Tour starts

It was the official start of the tour and the only date on which all the originally planned bands (Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Damned, Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers) could perform.

#sexpistols #theclash #thedamned #theheartbreakers

Despite being a great fan of the #SexPistols, #TheClash, #GenX and their predecessors. my impression is that #DrFeelgood actually invented #Punkrock, and nobody took care.

Listen to these guitar riffs, ain't that true?

This picture of Paul Simonon, bassist for The Clash, looks like someone asked an LLM to make a picture of Tom Waits but didn't get the prompt quite right.
