I'm A Man You Don't Meet Every day - Pogues cover

noims says...

Lovely tune and rendition, and I don't think Puddles and Shane McGowan really share much of a vocal style.

Next up, Puddles covers 'Pretty Vacant' by the Sex Pistols.

'Ello, Fred! Still bringin' ballet to the masses?

Sagemind says...

Sid was a circus act. I like the Sex-Pistols but mainly they were a talentless anarchy movement.
Queen on the other hand was talent mixed with just the right amount of ego.

I sure would like to have seen where Freddy would have taken music if he were still with us.
Sid? Well who cares really, because he served his role and the masses moved on.

"Sid and Nancy" - Ending Scene

shuac says...

My father is very literal-minded and has real trouble making sense of scenes like this. For instance, the scene in Michael Clayton when George Clooney stands with the horses on the hill was a big mystery to him.

The YouTube commenter that gwiz is quoting also has some trouble with literal-mindedness. Not as much trouble as my Dad, but it never crosses the commenter's mind that Alex Cox (the director) is merely constructing a series of symbols. In the commenter's world, this scene can only be a thing that he can identify with, a dream. It must be a drug-induced dream: the human construction of an altered mind.

Well, why should it be so limiting? Ask Blankfist, he'll tell you that directors are visual storytellers. Cox had to figure a way to wrap this tragic tale up in some artistic fashion. Why not re-tell Sid's entire story in the last scene with nothing but symbols? Sid eats pizza in the wasteland (working-class England), he is belligerent and anti-social (flipping the table over), he begrudgingly dances with little kids (the Sex Pistols), and then he dies with Nancy (the taxi).

In fact, the soundtrack lists the title to this gloomy instrumental song as "Taxi to Heaven." So is it a dream or something much much more subtle and therefore better?

I rest my case, your honor.
