Did I know exactly what Lydon & Strummer were singing about back then ??
Does knowing more about that now change how I rate them compared to each other ?
We all love them both anyhow so who cares I guess. Just that the piSToLS were central @ the time - but maybe it's more about TheClash now. But there's was also more Clash in the first place obvsly...

The Clash seem to get dissed a lot more these days. A quote I read recently by contemporaries said that the Clash always looked like they were ready for a photo shoot. Which they did. Not very punk really. Still, the Clash at the Palladium on the London Calling tour - pre-Bonds - was the best show I ever saw.

Brian was old school and knew he had to clean the boys up. They all loved Elvis but Paul also liked the Music Man. The Stones came from the blues, which was gritty and nasty and misogynistic ... all that good stuff. No wonder they embraced being the bad boys.

A very Of The Moment phenomenon. I think of Townshend saying he intended TheWho to be his ArtSchool concept of a self-destructing Pop happening ...but kids identified with his Songs - & of course the Checks came in. The piSToLS were like sticking to that original mandate...

Maybe the same reason why I’ve listened to The Beatles about 3 times over the last 30 years. I had their entire catalogue memorized by the time they broke up and I was just a wee lad of 12 at the time. And the Pistols catalog was, of course, much smaller than The Beatles.

The Shangri-Las made such interestingly Produced & even cinematic records !
Somewhere I read this was even an influence on Pete Townshend in writing longer Rawk Songs - leading eventually to album-length RawkOperas. Not the sort of thing Girl Groups of the early 1960s are generally credited with maybe...
A comparison to TheRamones is entirely on point as well. Cause the GirlGroups influenced them - & TheBeatles too. This is all under-recognized I think. Tho everybody knows, responds to & loves the Records.

Joe, I honestly think you and Todd and I, among other music friends, must have done something very good in our previous life to be able to have known the likes of Mary and Ronnie in this one.

"...The Weiss sisters and Marge Ganser played a few shows in the ’70s before attempting a full-on reunion in 1977. (Mary Ann Ganser died in 1970. Her cause of death has been alternately reported as both encephalitis and as an overdose of barbiturates. Weiss refuses to address it.)



They recorded an album for Sire Records, but it was never released, as all agreed that the material failed to live up to the group’s best.

But the Shangri-Las did play a one-off 1977 show at CBGB that allowed Weiss to see how much her music had influenced the next generation.

“The jukebox at CBGB had a lot of Shangri-La cuts on it,” says Weiss. “I was amazed. And I was deeply touched when Joey Ramone told me what a big influence we were on them.”

The Shangri-Las performed together for the final time at a show sponsored by Cousin Brucie in 1989. Marge Ganser died of breast cancer in 1996, and Betty Weiss has stayed out of the limelight since.
