29. In the hatch onto the roof at Gunter Grove. That was a very dangerous roof for us to be drunk on; it was five storeys up. I had bigger plans than being
squashed like a baked bean.

30. The first line-up of Public Image Ltd, aka PiL, in the living room in Honeyfield, May 1978.
(l-r)
Jah Wobble, Jim Walker, me, Keith Levene. On
the wall above my brother Martin who’s also in the picture, you can see rosettes from the Arsenal vs Ipswich FA Cup Final. Look at the idea of nothing matching - the wallpaper, the
carpet, the couch…

31. With Ari Up, Gunter Grove, 1978. She was all of about thirteen there, before she went too heavily into pretending to be Jamaican. We were friendlier
than some people would think.

32. With John Stevens, at Trinity College, Dublin, 3 October 1980. That’s the support band playing in the background!

33. In raincoat and silly glasses, Gunter Grove, 1978.

34. At Gunter Grove, 1979. I always liked a proper sound system.

35. A nice one of me and Keith, rehearsing circa Metal Box, back when we used to get on.

36. At Gunter Grove in 1980, after the release of
Second Edition
, wearing a fantastic coat made by Kenny MacDonald. I also had one in white which
made me look like a polar bear.

37. An astounding picture of Wobble and Keith sitting next to each other on the couch at Gunter Grove, with me on the right. I can’t remember those
two even in the same room without a glare and a frown and gnashing of teeth.

38. Arriving at High Court in London in a Kenny MacDonald suit and sheepskin for the Sex Pistols case in 1979. The man with the glasses and fuzzy hair is
Joe Stevens, the photographer who helped me out after the break-up in San Francisco.

39. Gunter Grove roof, circa 1980-81.
(l-r)
Bobby Lydon, me, Martin Lydon, Paul Young.

40. PiL out driving in Toronto, Canada, 16 October 1982.
(l-r)
Me, Keith, Martin Atkins, Pete Jones.

41. The same line-up onstage at the Brooklyn Zoo, 29 January 1983. It was a gig that earned a reputation of being ‘rocking, man’. Who told me
that? Billy Idol!
