How much would the PiL tour tickets have cost without the bu'er adverts? Do you know, I''m not altogether sure I believe him!

I'm not trying to fan the flames of this debate as I don't personally have an interest. However, I like history, so for the punk historians on the board, from today's '60 second' interview in the Metro:

Q: If the Pistols hadn't existed, would punk have happened?

A: No. There's confusion about this from people who should know better. Whatever was happening in New York was being done by much older people than us who were interested in the poetry of Rimbaud or glam rock - which isn't where we were. Older acts claimed it came from them first, which isn't right.

Apart from that, he says he's releasing a book called Mr Rotten's Scrapbook, limited edition, 750 copies, £449 (that's not a typo!). He also says the butter adverts funded the PiL tours.
