You know I'm a big Pistols fan, Chris. I got to watch a double feature of the documentary "The Filth and the Fury" and "Sid and Nancy" and I was surprised to find how very inaccurate the movie was. It's a wonderful film, don't get me wrong, but compared with the facts it was really off base. But I'll tell ya, if you like it, get the book "And I Don't Want To Live This Life" by Deborah Spungen. It was written by Nancy's mom. It's just heartbreaking. Nancy was one messed up girl. She had severe mental problems that went untreated because, at the time, they did not think that children could have those kinds of problems. A very compelling read, and quite a different take on the "punk" scene of the 70's/early 80's.
