4 newly remastered clips from Night Flight’s 1984 interview with John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten … Ya so he may slingin’ butter nowadays and pimpin’ the legacy of the Sex Pistols a wee much for our liking, but John Lydon is still one of modern music’s greatest showmen/raconteurs. Here he is talking about the Sex Pistols, how he works and the music industry as a whole… enjoy! Some other PIL highlights mixed in as well…

Two newly remastered bites from Night Flight’s 1991 interview with Grace Jones and other assorted Grace goodies… And damn does Grace Jones look good in these interviews! Her style is on point as always; slick tight Nubian leather hat with pink and black architectural flower/insect carapace dress!?!?!?… and to top it off she’s talking about what she wants in a man… in a word… HOT!

Well… maybe in a glamorously-gay-bad boy-pop-punk power couple paradise… (Oh wait, wasn’t that the 80s anyways?) We’ll probably never know for sure if these two bright shooting stars did or did not cross comet tails but one thing we do know is that they sat down with Night Flight at the height of their respective fame (so far…) and told some interesting tall tales. Like the priceless quote from Boy G where he claims “Image is Irrelevant” and goes on to call out David Bowie! Cheeky indeed…

And O Billy! The Peroxide Prince of Puff Punk bumbles and snarls his way thru pseudo-philosophical takes on “all the violence” in punk rock. Along the way managing to throw Sham 69 & The Angelic Upstarts under the bus. He also slyly obliterates any definition of punk rock into utter meaninglessness, thus allowing wiggle room for his “stupid, nonsensical and almost fascist” career to exist. O were you expecting hero worship? Wake-up and welcome to the 21st century… shit Billy’s been here since 1993! HA! Whtvr…

If the 40th President of the United States of America and his crazy/beautiful waif-wife Nancy were pill-poppin’ rail ridin’ reefer-heads content to hallucinate within a vapid vat of hypnotic hypocrisy, then Night Flight was prepared to ask the question; Why shouldn’t we all? Or rather maybe it was uh… we were just trying to inject a lil’ honesty into Nancy’s “War on Drugs” campaign. Iran-Contra anyone?

Henceforth, ahem… the above Night Flight classic is a crash course in “creative” editing and shows off the power or lack thereof, in the 80s era of the sound-bite. Its all about information, perspective and spin baby! With today’s technology one could make a reasonable argument that Pres. Obama is just another MIT Media-Lab confabulation based on Nielsen ratings, facial-recognition software and Dozo!

Yes, that’s right Dozo. Die-hards will remember our brash prophesy on the future of rock-n-roll (watch vid below) and looking back we’d still say we were dead-on. The tech may have gotten better and the illusions grander but we here at Night Flight are still not convinced that “Thee Jonazz Bros” are actually human. Maybe just maybe, they are “Children of Dozo…”

And lastly for all you Reaganites that just can’t get enuff of all things Nancy, here’s a lil’ ditty by The Sun City Girls that really hit home their fond admiration for the former leading lady (“…of the night.”)  Definitely NSFW and some neo-con(t)s may even melt upon hearing… So do your good deed for the day and send it to the jackass in your family that still celebrates reaganomics?!

N-A-N-C-Y!!!
