Crazed Picnicking In A British Countryside

Public Image Ltd. is appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live April 17th. Their last television appearance was in 1992 on the short-lived Dennis Miller Show, which I watched religiously not just because I really liked Dennis Miller at the time, but he was the only late night host that was featuring live acts like PiL as well as the likes of Henry Rollins and Screamin' Jay Hawkins, just to name a few. Most notably I remember PiL's performance as when John Lydon called Dennis a "wanker" immediately after they finished their song because I guess Dennis didn't ask John to come sit over at the desk to chat with him. Or something like that. Man, that show felt so.... cutting edge for its time, which seems so funny to say these days. But considering the time when other late night talk shows were featuring musical acts like Boyz II Men and Madonna, we were calling each other up late at night shrieking, "Turn on Dennis Miller right now... LUSH IS ON STAGE!" Or something like that. But PiL was particularly memorable, and I was a bigger fan of theirs back in the 80's. And John Lydon mooned the audience when I saw them live back in 1989. Haha, yes. Get pissed, destroy.



Public Image Ltd. on The Dennis Miller Show, 1992, when John called Dennis a wanker. Wow, seems like it was only, uh, 19 years ago.
