A Lark Ascending Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Well, not quite. Woke up at 3.00 am this morning to a 30 interview with John Lydon. Back in '76 he really was the 'Antichrist' to me as my prog-rock world got trashed, but really warmed to him on this. Programme was followed by an interview with Manfred Eicher about ECM. Can't find a link to the Lydon but the Eicher is on the BBC iPlayer at present: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00ccrsn#broadcasts 'The Strand' is actually a very good, eclectic music programme worth keeping an eye on.

clifford_thornton Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Lydon was at the time actually quite into prog (especially of the German variety), though McLaren wasn't. His later band PiL is quite far from UK punk - I'd encourage you to check out "Metal Box" if you ever have the urge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rostasi Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 This isn't the show that you heard, but it's rather recent: November 13 Thanks for the Eicher link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) I don't think so. In the World Service one he talks a fair bit about his difficult childhood and the impact of menengitis on him. He's currently advertising butter on UK TV!!!!!!!!

rostasi Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Well, actually, it was last broadcast on October 10 of this year and the post is from November 13, but it's still a recent broadcast. BBC is saying that it'll be re-broadcast on New Year's Day at 03:00. Maybe last night's program will show up later sometime - would like to hear it. Heard about the butter ads - still funny! ...and the comment! - "God saves the Queen the fascist margarine." -  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
