![]() In statistical terms this can be considered unjust. Despite the wealth of retrospective analysis about the Sex Pistols, this song has barely received a mention. Where it was once of enough importance to close The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle film and one of the versions of the soundtrack LP, it has no place on recent greatest hits albums. “Friggin' in the Riggin'” is disappearing from the Sex Pistols' story. The first song to draw me towards the Sex Pistols was issued on 23 February 1979, when I was nearly 12 years old. I was at primary school in 1977 and was too young to appreciate Johnny Rotten. I should now admit that it wasn't this record or this moment that made me a fan of the band. I have recounted this story on many occasions, suggesting I was synchronized with a significant pop cultural moment. ![]() Following a celebratory village fete, one of my brother's friends called up and played the two of us “God Save the Queen” via the telephone. My first exposure to the Sex Pistols' music came on the day of the Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977. It's time to come clean: I have repackaged my past.
