The Sex Pistols really were musical revolutionaries: the power-chord, very
tight recursive studio editing, plus those blistering lyrics, delivered in
Johnny Rotten's Cockney delivery -- the power-packed body-slam of
the nascent Europroletariat. Deindustrialized Britain exported songs where
Central Europe exported machine-tools.
