Last saturday night it was cold and rainy, so I decided to go to a (virtual) gig. I went to see the 30th anniversary Sex Pistols gig... on dvd. The concert was tough and emotional but what I have really enjoyed most were the special features with a 90 minutes London Guide by the four member of the band (top class: John Lydon vs the Emirate Stadium).
Back in the office on monday I received a big envelope from Amazon containing various books and dvd I have recently bought. The link between "The London Nobody Knows" (a 1967 documentary of the disappearing Victorian London...) and the Sex Pistols Guide was immediate.
What I am trying to say here it's not just I like London, Punk Rock and Arsenal FC but that I like cities and I like how they can really be "the stage" for different people, different adventures and different moods, all at the same time.
And speaking of cities and Punk Rock I can just mention one of the greatest pro-urban (or anti-rural) marvbelous song that is Down on the Farm by the Uk Subs (then covered by Guns & Roses, please don't make mistakes!).
