Pretty Vacant no more: Sex Pistols reclaim their history with Longhorn Ballroom (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Frank Carter, the heavily tattooed 42-year-old vocalist currently fronting the Sex Pistols, stood at the lip of the Longhorn Ballroom stage Friday night and gestured toward the floor where hundreds of bodies were pressed up against a barricade. Behind him stood guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook and bassist Glen Matlock, three-fourths of one of the most influential punk bands of all time, and two of whom (Jones and Cook) were returning to a venue they last headlined 48 years ago.

I was like, ‘I don’t actually know what to do.
