Herzlich willkommen zu Igel 21/22 1/2!

01. Public Image Limited – Public Image (1978)

You never listened to a word that I said
You only seen me from the clothes that I wear
Or did the interest go so much deeper
It must have been to the color of my hair

John Lydon, 1978:
“Public Image” (…) is not about the fans at all, it’s a slagging of the group I used to be in. (…)They never bothered to listen to what I was fucking singing, they don’t even know the words to my songs. They never bothered to listen, it was like “Here’s a tune, write some words to it.” So I did. They never questioned it. I found that offensive, it meant I was literally wasting my time, cos if you ain’t working with people that are on the same level then you ain’t doing anything. The rest of the band and Malcolm never bothered to find out if I could sing, they just took me as an image. It was as basic as that, they really were as dull as that. After a year of it they were going “Why don’t you have your hair this colour this year?” And I was going “Oh God, a brick wall, I’m fighting a brick wall!” They don’t understand even now.“

02. The Specials – Gangsters (1979)

Bernie Rhodes knows. Don’t argue!

Why must you record my phone calls?
Are you planning a bootleg LP?
Said you’d been threatened by gangsters
Now it’s you that’s threatening me
