Growing
up on the outskirts of Manchester, the Buzzcocks were the local heroes
of all of us at school with a punk rock leaning. I asked for and
received Love Bites on Christmas Day 1978. I never saw them live until
the reunion gig at Manchester Apollo in 1989 - what an amazing event
that was. Around the same time, the CD box set Product was released and
set the standard for retrospective re-releases in the new CD age and
re-acquainted many of us with our dusty old vinyl, reminding us of how
magnificent they were. We hadn't imagined it. Thankfully the reconvened
Buzzcocks continued to make magnificent albums (the latest The Way is a
fabulous body of work) and tour through to this very, sad, day. I last
saw the Buzzcocks live at Rebellion in August. 'Whatever Happened
To?' - they won't be saying that about you Pete. Thanks from all
of us Stockport school boys. Phil Singleton www.sex-pistols.net

Billboard Video: Watch 'Rise of the Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles' ft. John Lydon
Billboard: "Nickelodeon’s Rise Of The
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles bows Monday, Sept. 17. Lydon lends his
unmistakable vocals to new character Meat Sweats. He’s an erstwhile
celebrity chef, now a power-hungry mutant pig who scours the scene
underneath NYC looking for the perfect living ingredients for his
diabolical recipes. Although Lydon is prepping for the new PiL tour,
which starts Oct. 9 in New Orleans, he did pause to embody his new
character for Billboard. “Meat taught me everything,” he says. “Now to
trap a turtle!”

name of Dennis Morris.... In this documentary, Dennis walks us through
his photo exhibition of the Sex Pistols as he recounts his incredible
time with Johnny Rotten, Sid Vicious, Steve Jones and Paul Cook. 1977-
