Anarchy In The A.C.
“Thank you, Donald Dump, for letting us play your
castle!” Johnny Rotten snarled as the Sex Pistols stormed the
Grand Cayman ballroom of the Trump Marina in Atlantic City. Rotten
may not be the firebrand he was back in 1978, but as hunched old
ladies pumped quarter after quarter into the nearby slots, the fact
that the punk legend was stirring up some genuine anger under the
gold plastic chandeliers almost made us forget that Creedence
Clearwater Revisited had played this wedding-friendly venue the
previous night (and that someone held up a lighter during
“God Save the Queen”). Have the Pistols become a sad,
spent oldies act, or are they still relevant? We turned to the
crowd for answers.
