I remember it like it was... 30 years ago.

I don't know who either of those people are. More importantly, I don't care.

And you call yourself a bassist.

Hell, I got to announce that on the air. I worked at KWSL Radio in Sioux City and KCAU-TV in Sioux City at the time.

I didn't get to announce it on TV, but they didn't let long-haired types like me on camera very much ;)

I think Nancy Spungen is married to Ted Danson. I'm pretty sure Sid Vicious is a wrestler or something.

You feel old, Submitter? Yesterday was my 31st anniversity of initially enlisting in the U.S. Air Force.

Scenes from my first real duty station: Bergstrom AFB, Austin, TX.

But truth be told, there weren't too many people who called Sid Vicious a bassist.

They should have stuck with Glen Matlock.

OH, okay. I was thinking she was that figure skater from like ten years ago or something.

And thus, the Darwin awards were born. And a good thing too. Can you imagine what foul creature would have spawned forth from that junked up snatch?

I was still in the womb then.

Damn, I'm almost old.

Thanks for that. I've always loved that vid. Even if ol' Uncle Sid was a hack and a loser, there will always be a place in my heart for him, Kennedys, Milkmen, Furs, etc.

 
SBinRR 2008-10-12 07:11:29 PM  
So, am I reading this right? Nancy murdered and arrested Sid?

 
Darth_Lukecash [TotalFark] 2008-10-12 07:11:35 PM  
I was eleven years old. It totally shattered my world.

No wait, it was the math homework that shattered my world.

(Not good in math)

A poor, dumb, junked-out kid and the see-you-next-tuesday whose insane narcissism drove him to his grave. There's nothing funny about that story.

It wasn't funny later in Seattle, either.

 
bgrainger 2008-10-12 07:49:54 PM  
Why did she arrest him after killing him? Shouldn't she have been arrested?

/submitter is a tard.

Posting in the thread is a very superb way of showing that you are totally disinterested. Nicely done.

Odd. Most people who knew them both consider this the one thing he did right.

Didn't Rockets Redglare actually kill her?

I was going to mention that - I'm glad someone else did.

What? Sid and Nancy? It tacks a happy ending on the whole sordid affair!

I love that movie.

 
frostus [TotalFark] 2008-10-12 10:19:45 PM  
I had been married just over a year and was still so far into newlywed mode that I wasn't really paying much attention. Thanks for the update though.

I was old when that happened and didn't pay any attention to Sid Vicious.

And now The Misfits tribute to Sid and Nancy:

Too much horror business
Driving late at night
Psycho 78
My bathroom is new

You, you dont go in the bathroom with me

Psycho 78
12 oclock, dont be late
All this horror business
My mirrors are black

You dont go in the bathroom with me

With you
Ill put a knife right in you
Im warning you
Ill put a knife right in you
Im warning you
Ill put a knife right in you

Too much horror business
Drivin late at night
Psycho 78
My bathroom is new for you

You, you dont go in the bathroom with me

Psycho 78
Im talking about
12 oclock, dont be late
I say, all this horror business
My mirrors are black for you

You, you dont go in the bathroom with me

With you
Ill put a knife right in you
Im warning you
Ill put a knife right in you
Im warning you
Ill put a knife right in you
Im warning you
Ill put a knife right in you
Im warning you
You, nobody can do
What I can do, no

/Yes, it was written about them, not Norman Bates.

What the hell does that have to do with the Sex Pistols? Gotta post about yourself somewhere I guess.

Just managed to watch Sid and Nancy for the first time tonight.

Funny stuff.
