Advent 17

1977: the Queen's silver jubilee; Ian Botham makes his test debut; I spend the summer on an expedition to map a glacier in Iceland; Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols is released and we are knowingly assured that music will never be the same again.

Well, the musical world did not of course tilt irretrievably on its axis but Never Mind the Bollocks has left an indelible mark. A beautifully produced and realised record driven by John Lyndon's coruscating voice and marketed by Malcolm McLaren's devilish genius. A landmark.

    I hope our night out in JQ didn't spark the revival of punkism?
    Bacon was concerned at lack of rhubarb!
