This evening I want to report you a detail on the cover of a 7" that I own:
a "Warner Bros Records" Made in U.S.A. 1977 release, with "Pretty Vacant" in A side and "Sub Mission" in B side.
On the back side of the cover there's a long letter from a VERY disgusted guy; disgusted about "Sex Pistols" and punks in general, disgusted about lyrics extc... and worried about a supposed decline of the music world...................
Here's the delirium:
To the guy who signed these punks:
Some people would do anything for a buck. Are these punks to be multi millionaires too like all the rest. Of course the poor young kids of today don't have an inkling of what music is all about. We just lost a fine gentleman, a good individual, a good family man and least but not last-- A FINE PROFESSIONAL
SINGER OF GOOD MUSIC. There won't be any teenagers crying over him, there won't be any shrines built for his memory. HE WOULDN'T WANT IT THAT WAY. I'm talking about Bing Crosby. These punks you just signed are going to make a lot of our kids emulate their disgusting tactics. I hope your kids, if you have any don't turn out bad. You and your ilk have made millions, perhaps billions from such super XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Stars (???) ad Bob Dylan who can't sing for shit, Jimmy Hendricks, Janis Joplin, even your Frampton can't sing for shit. NONE OF YOUR SO CALLED STARS CA. The call themselves writers (?) singers (?) and composers (?) What a laugh!! Mick Jaggers and all the rest. But what the hell do you guys care, you make your bundle. What ever happened to our music, the Crosby, Andy Williams type Our Jerry Vales, Sergi Franchi, Even Shecky Green with his Impossible Dream is much easier on the ears than all those millionaire punks. They take the poor kids to the cleaners. Some wait in line all night for a ticket. The ones with the "bread" come up with hundred bucks for a pair of tickets for certain perform ances AND FOR CHRIST SAKE, DON'T CALL THEM CONCERTS. Those junkies, queers and bums have so much money they don't know what to do with it. Many of our better hotels around won't even rent to them for all the money in the world for the

simple reason that THEY ARE PUNKS AND NOTHING ELSE. No, I'm not a long hair, I've been around and know the score. You take these UNTALENTED punks, give them a big build up, arrange their tours and you too shovel in the BUCKS. It's a damn shame that the youth of our country know only this kind of trash music (?) BECAUSE YOU AND YOUR ILK PROMOTE THEM. ELTON JOHN, another over rated millionaire. Do these punks ever contribute anything to humanity? Ed Sullivan was the first one in TV who prostituted himself and gave these punks public exposure, the rest followed.
The kids ate it up because they had nothing else. Johnny Rotten, what a name to pick! SICK-SICK-SICK. The times Robert Hilburn music (???) editor helps build the punks up too, the way you do. I wonder whether you know THE REAL MEANING OF PUNK
Well, punks they are, what else? I don't think that there is one probably, perhaps NONE who can really sing. The lyrics? UGH, makes no sense at all. But you don't care, the bucks are important to you. YOU DON'T CONTRIBUTE A DAMN THING TO HUMANITY. Oh, you throw a few bucks around for charity once in a while-big deal
Well, good luck with your Sex Pistols. Pretty soon when they get a few bucks ahead and don't know what to do with themselves-you'll have to bail one out for junk or something. Russ Meyer, where did I hear that name before? Oh yeah, that's another character who makes his bucks from sick people. God damn it, it really pisses you off when ROTTENESS, FILTH AND NON TALENT CAN BECOME MILLIONAIRES.
Nothing wrong in making money but the wrong people are making it in your line of businnes-TRASH TRASH TRASH and nothing more. Dean Martin at his age can even belt something out that's easy on the ears. So long. They were run out of England so we take 'em in here---NOT WE---You. I'm waiting for one of your new punks to come out of the closet and declare that he's BI. No, I'm not a Anita Bryant fan.
I'm just angry to see what is palmed off on the American public as music. Bah.
DISGUSTED WITH YOUR NEW FIND
LoL !!!!
