Title: American Bandstand, yes, but not from this album
Review: The reviewer below who mentions American Bandstand gets it half-right. PiL did appear on American Bandstand, but performed "Poptones" from Second Edition rather than something from this album. It was a wild performance. While we could hear Lydon singing the lyrics, we could read his lips (face pushed up close to a camera) saying, "How's my hair?"I can't give this first PiL album much credit musically. It's a slapdash, iritating affair. Second Edition I give 4 stars; Flowers of Romance I give 4. The individual song "Public Image" from this album I give 5 stars -- it's a collosal showcase for Wobble and Levine, and a riveting statement of purpose. Thematically, its something like R.E.M.'s "King of Comedy," but a lot more meaningful given its historical context. Its also simply a more powerful song.
