Excellent choice, submitter. Kudos! I would've changed the headline, though, "Bonus: Afrika Bambaataa and Ronald Reagan."

That really brought me back. (Brought me back to the days when I had hair!) The breakdancing at the end was perfect too!

Heard the song plenty but, never saw the video. Thanks.

Lyrics, because I can:
-----
Speak of the destruction. (x3)

This is a world destruction, your life ain't nothing.
The human race is becoming a disgrace.
Countries are fighting with chemical warfare.
Not giving a damn about the people who live there.
Nostradamus predicts the coming of the Antichrist.
Hey, look out, the third world nations are on the rise.
The Democratic-Communist Relationship,
won't stand in the way of the Islamic force.
The CIA is looking for you.
The KGB is smarter than you think.
Brainwash mentalities to control the system.
Using TV and movies - religions of course.
Yes, the world is headed for destruction.
Is it a nuclear war?
What are you asking for?

This is a world destruction. Your life ain't nothing.
The human race is becoming a disgrace.
The rich get richer.
The poor are getting poorer.
Fascist, chauvinistic government fools.
People, Moslems, Christians and Hindus.
Are in a time zone still searching for the truth.
Who are you to think you're a superior race?
Facing forth your everlasting doom.
We are Time Zone. We've come to drop a bomb on you.
World destruction, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom!

This is the world destruction, your life ain't nothing.
The human race is becoming a disgrace.
Nationalities are fighting with each other.
Why is this? Because the system tells you.
Putting people in faceless categories.
Knowledge isn't what it used to be.
Military tactics to control a nation.
Who wants to be a president or king? Me!
Mother Nature is gonna work against you.
Nothing in your power that you can do.
Yes, the world is headed for destruction.
You and I know it, cause the Bible tells you.
If we don't start to look for a better life,
the whole world will be destroyed in a time zone!

Speak of the destruction. (x3)

I farking love that song, I use it in my DJ set from time to time. I never knew there was a video for it, either. Thanks awesomitter

Now I feel old!

I hope he chokes on a dead dogs cock.fark John Lydon.

Need I say more?


/Happy birthday old sod, many mores

How sweet to see little Joannie Lyndon blowing drying his hair; important for boy band members to keep up their grooming habits...

Happy birthday, you old bastard. Nevermind the haters, John.

hey it's what his manager told him to do. So very "punk" of him.

Not much time today so it's abbreviated:

Wrong. Douches.

Flowers of romance, from top of the pops 1981

Link (new window)

The Dynamite Monkey: "Wrong. Douches."

Indeed. Relax TDM, it's hopeless. The Internet has always had it's usual gang of idiots but nowadays the overwhelming majority are all idiots. The end of the world won't come as a bang, but one huge "duuuuuhhhh...WTF?!!"

------------------------------------------------

Speaking of Armageddon, Reagan had fears the end was near:

"Events in the Middle East concerned him so much that Reagan wrote on May 15, 1981, 'Sometimes I wonder if we are destined to witness Armageddon.'

Then on June 7: 'Got word of Israel bombing of Iraq -- nuclear reactor. I swear I believe Armageddon is near.'

Reagan believed Begin 'took wrong option' and noted that "Begin informed us after the fact" but that "we are not turning on Israel -- that would be an invitation for the Arabs to attack. It's time to raise Hell.'

On February 6, 1982, he noted that 'trouble brewing in the Middle East' ahead of the Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon and that, 'Right now Israel has lost a lot of world sympathy.'

He said one particularly devastating bombing and artillery attack on western Beirut in August 1982 had led King Fahd of Saudi Arabia to call the White House 'begging me to do something.'

'I told him I was calling P.M. Begin immediately. And I did -- I was angry -- I told him it had to stop or our entire future relationship was endangered. I used the word holocaust deliberately & said the symbol of war was becoming a picture of a 7-month-old baby with its arms blown off.'"

- excerpts from Reagan's diaries

Much as I hated Reagan, he isn't as bat-shiat stupid crazy as what we have now.

Happy birthday Johnny. And many more. Let's farkIN' hope so.

The Dynamite Monkey: Wrong. Douches.

Hahahaha - Never saw this video originally, but honestly blow drying your hair? What a poof. Let alone including it in a video.

/I can't imagine any members of the Clash blow drying their hair and including it in a video
//Poison, Cinderella, and Winger - of course.

Wow Archie, your comment would have been biting maybe in 1993.

What's more punk than a blowdryer?

Lydon's Birthday, eh? I had no idea, yet it seems to explains my inexplicable urge to listen to PiL today.

Afrika's gotta a pimp look.

i downloaded the ep from the tunes store just a few weeks ago. great song, and a great find subby!

You morans, he's making fun of boy-bands who blow-dry their hair. This isn't The Police here.

The only thing Lydon was ever involved with that had
any merit.
