YOU CAN'T NOT GET NO SATISFACTION

it's my entrance, my own creation, my grand finale, my goodbye!

Posted over 3 years ago
Most people I know have that one song that gets them going every morning....the one song that gets them prepared for their day. For the past two weeks, "public image" by public image limited has been such a song for me...This song is a searing and soaring statement of intent. The gorgeous, chiming minimalism of Jah Wobble's bassline. The pure joy of vibration contained within it. Keith Levene's guitar is so clean, so tingly, like a cold shower. I imagine it as really thin glass that penetrates you ever so slowly so that you don't notice it until you start bleeding internally. John Lydon sounds like he's on some sort of quest for purity as he throws away his "Rotten" alter ego with such lines as "I'm not the same as when I began/ I will not be treated as property". Enjoy it.

  1. Spencer Owen says I feel like people find a true bounty in Public Image Ltd. People really come away changed, or at least like they've found a pretty deep musical experience. I haven't yet felt that. Do I need to really sit with it? I want to like it, and every time the elements are described it seems like it'd be one of my faves... I always think it's on the way... I'm very confused.
