"Careering," 1980 (YouTube). Love that screechy Prophet synth.

I recently saw a DVD with a segment of the Tomorrow Show in, I think, 1979, with Levene and Lydon. I had forgotten how RIDICULOUSLY, HILARIOUSLY hostile and UTTERLY up their own asses they were. Snyder all but called them toolboxes. Also at the first closeup of Levene my friend cracked up and said "Oh no, HE'S not on heroin, no way."

Not crap!

"Religion II" is a great fucking tune.
