DEATH TO THE SEX PISTOLS
“More feared than Russian Communism”, Britain's Punk Rock movement – which essentially consisted of energetic adolescents with spiky hair and ripped jeans who were out for a laugh – were public enemy #1 in Britain ‘77.
Yeah, never mind the Racist police, the high unemployment, the three-day working weeks, the power cuts, the raging taxation, the food shortages and the endless strikes.
What Britain really needs, thought the “intelligentsia”, is to come down like a ton of bricks on Colin from Bedford for spitting on the pavement outside Woolworths last Tuesday. And that Sandra from Walsall, what with her scary eyeliner, she’s clearly high risk to old age pensioners with weak heart conditions. Punk filth and scum, read all about it!
As any free-thinker would surely surmise, the hysteria from Britain’s media, councillors, parents and grandparents was wildly inappropriate:
“Most of these groups would be vastly improved by sudden death. The worst of the punk rock groups I suppose currently are the Sex Pistols. They are unbelievably nauseating. They are the antithesis of humankind. I would like to see somebody dig a very, very large, exceedingly deep hole and drop the whole bloody lot down it.” ~ Bernard Brook-Partridge, Conservative member of the Greater London Council, chairman of the Arts committee
On Christmas Day 1977, Bernard's “antithesis of humankind” performed a benefit matinee in Huddersfield for the children of striking firemen, laid-off workers and one-parent families (there was also an evening concert for the big kids!)
What did Brook-Partridge ever do for any of that lot? Naffin’. Hopelessly out-of-touch, that rancid old sausage was well past his sell-by date.
A few months earlier, almost unbelievably, the police had taken the word “bollocks” to court. Yes, that really happened in Britain in 1977. The three magistrates who heard the case in Nottingham were unanimous with their verdict:
“Much as my colleagues and I wholeheartedly deplore the vulgar exploitation of the worst instincts of human nature for the purchases of commercial profits by both you and your company, we must reluctantly find you not guilty of each of the four charges.”
Rarely, can the police of any state have made such a public exhibition of themselves; such foolishness, such incompetence, such a waste of resources.
The truth of the matter is that in mid-70s Britain, a huge number of teenagers were bored with the blandness of the music, were disillusioned with the state of the nation and had worries about their life prospects. Someone had to say bollocks to it, Punk had to happen.
And, boy oh boy, did it spill out. The Damned, The Jam and The Stranglers all had two new albums out this year, as did Ultravox!, David Bowie, Ramones and Iggy Pop (who had three).
The Jam are calling out the government as liars, you've got the Sex Pistols calling for destruction and The Clash are itching for a revolution.
It did become a battle, and all of a sudden, British white kids out for a laugh knew how it felt to be a persecuted minority. They were united, never divided, and history shows that they were victorious. Whilst Punk, the fashion statement, soon faded, the floating nebulae of the explosive victory has never stopped, and can felt to this day in musical sub-genres, fashion and attitude not only in Britain, but in countless cutting-edge music-loving scenes the world over.
The British kids of ’77 – who were more than twice my age – are now retro-heroes to me. They were the ultimate Jukebox Rebels, and made things better for you and I today.
Long live our noble Punks.
