FUCK THE QUEEN > FUCK THE MONARCHY > FUCK THE ESTABLISHMENT AND ALL THAT IT STANDS FOR!
AUSTRALIA - STOP HOLDING ONTO MUMMY'S APRON STRINGS > YOU ARE A GREAT COUNTRY BUT SURELY IT IS TIME TO LEAVE THE ROOST AND BECOME A REPUBLIC
C'mon, did you really think that this wasn't gonna be posted?
Didn't think that the old bag would still be here after all this time though. For Allan Jones's account of The Pistols Thames boat trip 35 years ago go here.
Funnily enough I was staying at my Nan's house in Liverpool back in 77 at the time of the 'jubbly' and there were two posters in the lounge window. Jamie Reid's (mine) and one of her above (my Nan's). Twice my Nan's window got bricked and both times it was her poster that kopped it!

And just to remind you what it was like back then...

Artist turns his dead pet into flying helicopter after it is killed by a car
'...Dutch artist Bart Jansen first stuffed Orville before teaming up with radio control helicopter flyer Arjen Beltman to build a specially-designed flying mechanism to attach to the cat.
Jansen said the Orvillecopter is 'half cat, half machine', and part of a visual art project to pay tribute to his cat Orville.
Jansen, part of the art cooperative Generaal Pardon, said: 'After a period of mourning he received his propellers posthumously.'
He added that Orville will soon be 'flying with the birds' stating: 'Oh how he loved birds. He will receive more powerful engines and larger props for his birthday. So this hopping will soon change into steady flight.''

Helen Nissenbaum, Kazys Varnelis: Situated Technologies Pamphlet 9 - Modulated Cities: Networked Spaces, Reconstituted Subjects (2012)
In Situated Technologies Pamphlets 9, Helen Nissenbaum and Kazys Varnelis initiate a redefinition of privacy in the age of big data and networked, geo-spatial environments. Digital technologies permeate our lives and make the walls of the built environment increasingly porous, no longer the hard boundary they once were when it comes to decisions about privacy. Data profiling, aggregation, analysis, and sharing are broad and hidden, making it harder than ever to constrain the flow of data about us. Cautioning that suffocating surveillance could lead to paralyzed dullness, Nissenbaum and Varnelis do not ask us to retreat from digital media but advance interventions like protest, policy changes, and re-design as possible counter-strategies.

Patti Smith on covering After The Goldrush
'The last song on the record, I performed live with my son, Jackson, and my daughter, Jesse,' says Smith. 'I wanted the album to end like dawn breaking, and I thought of the type of song that I wanted to write. But then I was in a café and I happened to hear Neil Young's 'After the Gold Rush,' and I thought, Neil's already written it.'

KIKI PICASSO graphic propaganda
Claiming the influence of the kabbalist Abdul Vector Von Hassid, this sonic nation distills on its first record a raging mix of sharp noisy post-no-wave guitars and urgent rap. Some electro colour also emanates from crazy architect Seb el Zin’s mix. Kiki Picasso’s cover places the recording in a geopolitical context where William Burroughs drops acid with Ben Laden.
