| Sex
Thief |
Punk Music reports: Steve Jones, former Sex
Pistols guitarist has a new radio show on his L.A. station called "Jonsey's
Jukebox". However, the former 'Pistol' is terrified to invite stars on
the show because he stole their valuables during the punk era ( I am pretty
sure we are still in the punk era..punk is still alive and doing well,
right? well sort of.).
Jones has robbed Roxy Music of fuzzboxes
and gold discs, an expensive fur coat from Rolling Stones guitarist Keith
Richards and amps and microphones from David Bowie, as well as many other
rock and rollers and the like who are still unaware of his kleptomaniac
habits.
Despite the fact he stole, Jones insists
that the Sex Pistols would have failed if they hadn't taken on the role
as punk rock's very own "Robin Hood" (now that is funny). [see full story

The labels were looking for between US$6 and US$8 per user per month, a
figure Microsoft balked at. Apparently, those figures are in line with
what the current subscription services like Napster, RealNetworks, and
