THERE is a current surge of interest in punk. The Sex Pistols’ God Save the Queen topped the singles charts during the Platinum Jubilee, 45 years to the day after it controversially didn’t when first released at the time of the Silver Jubilee.
Famed director Danny Boyle has also turned his hand to dramatising the life of the band in his series Pistol, which traces the evolution of the Sex Pistols and the British punk rock movement that grew out of London in the 1970s.
The series, based on the autobiography of Pistols guitarist Steve Jones, has been the subject of controversy, including legal battles with former Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon, who tried to prevent the use of the band’s music. The lead singer dubbed the show “the most disrespectful shit I ever had to endure.”
