Never Mind the Bollocks
Sigh. It turns out the Paul Cook we met on Facebook isn’t the Paul Cook who drummed for the Sex Pistols, and to avoid any further rumours, Toronto Paul Cook photoshopped the above nifty graphic, clearly stating his case. The Last Pogo Jumps Again Due Diligence Department will now launch a full-scale investigation confirming or denying other supposed Facebook pals such as King Kong, Martin Luther King Jr., and Viletone Freddy Pompeii.
King Kong atop the New Yorker Theatre, 1976. Photo, mural and sculpture by David Andoff. If you look closely, there are ads for The Ramones concerts just behind the hippie selling trinkets.
And if you look really closely, you’ll spot The New Yorker box office, September 1976. Photo by Brad Foster.
