PIL CAREERING POPTONES USA TV 1980

I wouldn't exactly call metal box obscure

I think it's much nervous and desperate... that's not so simple to catch

Wrong 'em boyo- Lydon hated that stuff,mon. However he did like a spliff and brew.

the smell of rubber on country tar

@BerserkerSkye77 - Looking at the list of guests at that point, it was heavy on R&B and New Wave bands - PIL, the Jam, Joe Jackson, Devo, etc. Either an attempt not to look irrelevant, or trying to catch an up and coming thing? Don't know, but it was the only time I came near watching American Bandstand...:^)

Thanks for posting this - I never thought I'd ever see this again!  Greatest moment on US music TV ever.

funniest most entertaining moment EVER on American Bandstand. laughing til my overpriced latte spewed out my sinuses
