Clarence Ewing: The Million Year Trip writesSex, Drugs, and You Know What: “Pistol” Review
In only a few years, we’ll mark the 50th anniversary of the rise and fall of that Punk-est of Punk bands, The Sex Pistols. Assembled in London during the economic and social upheaval of the 1970s, the band didn’t invent Punk music, but they were at the right place at the right time to briefly become its biggest spectacle and make a brief but lasting impression on other musicians and music fans.
There are lots of accounts of the band’s history, both written and filmed. The latest to enter the collection is Pistol, a six-part miniseries directed by Danny Boyle, whose body of work includes Trainspotting, 28 Days Later, and Slumdog Millionaire.
