[Closed] Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs.

Notice what?

well if you agree that the point of the song is that society dehumanises and that it does this from the top down, then i guess that it is as poignant today as it was in 1977.

the only slight incongruity is that no future has become no present

No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs

fabulous 😆

Was thinking exactly that Jamie

My poor MiL...

Several years ago - wife to MiL

his new phone is fab - plays "God Save the Queen" as the alarm tune *

MiL to wife

Really, I'm surprised he's a royalist

* Really is a shocking wake up call

great song(happy less complicated times) 8)

ha ha great record

One of the biggest letdowns as far as rock n roll biogs go.

Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

but public relations expert Diana Mather said re-releasing it is a "PR stunt"

The Sex Pistols were essentially a PR stunt. A bloody good one, mind!

I'll get my coat then 😥

We woz only in it for the money.
(which we have drunk, snorted, etc. etc)
Still a great song and even better if it got to no 1 with the jubilee/olympic things happening.

even better if it got to no 1 with the jubilee/olympic things happening

That would be very, very poetic!

Has anyone suggested this as an alternative Olympics opener...?

Its a shame their are no new voices in music, making statements about life and politics in their music.

I am never sure if its the "industry" that now is effectively scared to develop such talent, or if its just not in youth to speak out anymore.

Predictable and of no consequence whatsoever. A bit like dear old Johnny himself nowadays.

I long for the days when seeing him on TV was a rare treat and you watched with a sense of dread/hope that any minute the interviewer was going to say the wrong thing and all hell would break loose.

msp- there is plenty of music being made that talks about these issues, and alot of people who listen to it and appreciate it.

And RIP Dick Clark who presided over this wonderful tv moment
