The Date: January

The Movie: The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle (1980)
What Is It?: The
Sex Pistols make a shambling exit by dressing up in dodgy private dick drag,
metamorphosing into Looney Tunes, dragging former label EMI over the coals one
last time, and taking their metaphorical assaults on their audiences to literal
extremes.
Why Today?: On
this day in 1977, EMI drops The Sex
Pistols.
