2996.0. "In the News..." by NCMAIL::KINNEYD (All Mach, No Vector) Thu Nov 03 1994 15:30

    Wire service report in the paper today reprinted without permission:
    
    A footnote to rock history: Sid Vicious never played a note for the Sex
    Pistols. So said the band's manager, Malcolm McLaren, yesterday in
    London, adding that Vicious' amp was always off. "Sid's playing was so
    bad that we'd have someone behind the speakers to play his bass parts,
    it was usually a roadie.

   The one I liked was:

   The Eagles cancelled their ~$125/ticket tour halfway through due to
   "illness".

   Barbra Streisand cancelled many of her ~$250/ticket tour dates due to
   "illness" (or "strained throat" (how could you tell? :-))).

   Who would have thought Keith Richards would be the healthiest person on
   tour this year?

2996.6...and Sid never knew it...DECWET::TEAGUEFri Nov 04 1994 15:215
    
    Another piece of the Sid Vicious story I heard: on top of
    it all, he never *knew* they turned his amp off because noone 
    dared tell him.

    I hear they arrested a former Boston Celtic for trying to murder
    both Keith Richards (how could they tell?) and Mick Jagger.
    
    The mob was trying to kill two Stones with one Bird...
