Limited Set

The trouble with being a Sex Pistols cover band is that the band they imitate only recorded about nine songs --- maybe fourteen if you include Sid Vicious' solo numbers which were, uh, covers. That was enough material for a 1977 performance when the real band played might only get five numbers finished before the club burned down or the police showed up. But in 2006, only dorks like me will go see the phony Sex Pistols. Being 38 and complacent, I'm virtually incapable of requiring a priority police response. So after the band has played its namesakes entire catalogue of songs, it's time for an encore. What is the band supposed to do ? They come out and play Bodies, Pretty Vacant and Anarchy in the U.K. . . . . . again.
