Burning of punk memorabilia isn’t punk, it’s efing sad, ‘selfish and pointless

[tay]

Fans have reacted angrily after Joe Corre started to burn an estimated £5million worth of Sex Pistols and punk memorabilia in protest.


The son of former Sex Pistol manager Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood declared the burning of the memorabilia back in March as part of Punk’s 40th anniversary, which Corre claims received backing from the Queen whilst criticizing BFI and The London museum for turning punk into a “Museum piece”.


Now a video has emerged with a ‘teaser’ for Saturday’s burning ceremony showing Corre setting alight an acetate of the Sex Pistols’ ‘Anarchy In The UK’ – declaring “punk has become a brand, just like McDonalds”. You can see the burning of the ‘Anarchy In The UK’ acetate below.
