Anarchy in Iraq?
us that keeping with their history of weird gigs the Sex
Pistols have announced that they want to play a benefit gig in Baghdad following
their U.S. tour in August. Johnny Lydon had this to say about the show "If
the people of Iraq are being offered democracy, then they should understand it
to its fullest extent, and that is the Sex Pistols." No word on how realistic
this is or if Rotten is simply playing the instigator (as he does so well). The
band's US tour starts in August. Click below for the dates.
