[kj] hes still a punk ;-)

[melinda grant]

here! here!  meaning i agree,anyway thats why i posted that interview with 
john.l from abc t.v 2007
(dont know if you saw it)

just to show,he still thinks basically the same today,just exspresses it 
differently from(1976/ 1977- pistols and(78-79- 80   p.i.l. early 
days!!!)---and that is refreshing,still standing by his words and principal. 
   moving along quite a few years........................

the stuff he did with " left field-- amongst others" was great,showing he 
does not restrict him self musically  :)
