"
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!
Compared to some of the media encounters Lydon has had, I don't think that one was too terrible. It seemed like Snyder was kind of looking for a fight, so to speak.

That's cause it is flawed in one way: both "Religion" songs are, honestly, pretty bad. Sad to say it, really, but it's true:
"Religion II" is a great fucking tune.

I want to add that while their third album "Flowers Of Romance" is good, it is missing Jah Wobbles and therefore not great.

It's absolutely awful. Half the tracks are "experimental" instrumentals and there are a few songs that ended up on later albums in more "produced" form. The Mad Max/Bad Life version on Commercial Zone is pretty fun though.
