[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

I don't have a whole lot of anything intelligent or insightful to say about the subject, but I often wonder, as I wear out the digits of my Never Mind The Bollocks mp3, that the punk movement of the 70s - and as we all know, the only real punks were the Pistols, and everyone else is mere punk/rock - were genuinely saying something important. If you subscribe to the theory that cynicism is the latest and very probably last great philosophy of civilisation, then you'll find this strangely artistic & prophetic still from the movie Sid and Nancy interesting...

At the end of the movie, after Sid has been released on bail, there's this great shot of him walking through waste ground with the World Trade Centre towers behind him. And of course, neither of them survived very long.

But Sid is/was a damn sight more interesting I reckon... and arguably caused far less trouble.
