ピストルズ再結成のときのロッキンオンのインタビューで「いくらなんでもあそこまで小市民の神経逆なでしたら襲撃されることくらい予測できたんでは？」って質問に、ライドンがメッチャ怒ってたな。「なんで民主主義やら表現の自由を標榜してる社会でそんなことまで覚悟しなきゃなんないんだ？」って。 https://t.co/KRLkh31XuF

1977: the Queen's punk jubilee
Sun 29 Apr 2012 00.04 BST
The Jamie Reid posters that put a safety pin through the Queen's lip and obliterated her portrait with "blackmail lettering" were themselves acts worthy of trial for sedition in some eyes, while in the previous Elizabethan era a character called Johnny Rotten jeering that Queen Bess was "no human being" would surely have been locked in the Tower. Instead, Lydon and the Pistols were merely banned from the airwaves, though the group would pay a high price, being hassled by police and attacked by nationalist thugs.
Sex Pistols: Anarchy in the UK and the tour they tried to ban

BBC News
3 December 2016
The first show was due to be held at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich on 3 December 1976. Billed as a "A Punk-Rock Evening", tickets cost £1.25 in advance and £1.50 on the door, but collectors would pay many times that for one now. The concert never went ahead: earlier that day, vice-chancellor Dr Frank Thistlethwaite banned it "on the grounds of protecting the safety and security of persons and property".
The Caerphilly gig was picketed by carol-singing Christian protesters - "religious maniacs", in Matlock's words - while he remembers a bottle of brown ale being thrown at him at the Electric Circus. "That could easily have killed me," he writes
41 years ago, the Sex Pistols “God Save the Queen” was banned from the BBC for “gross bad taste”

“Punish The Punks!”: The Sex Pistols’s Johnny Rotten on dealing with violence
By Bryan Thomas on October 27, 2015
“‘PUNISH THE PUNKS’, ran the headline in Sunday Mirror [June 12, 1977], and the British public took the instruction to heart,” writes Jon Savage in England’s Dreaming: Anarchy, the Sex Pistols, Punk Rock, and Beyond, published in 1991. “The attacks were now not just verbal but also physical.”
Savage continues detailing what happened that night in June: “The first to be victimized was Jamie Reid, the next day [after the ‘Punish The Punks’ headline appeared in the Mirror]: he was attacked just around the corner from his Borough flat and his leg and nose were broken by unknown assailants. The next Sunday (of the second People story) it was the turn of Public Enemy Number One, John Lydon.”
“‘Chris Thomas and I were in the Pegasus, just around the corner from Wessex Studios,’[Rotten] says, ‘and as we left, we were attacked in the car park by a gang of knife-wielding yobs, who were chanting, ‘We love our Queen, you bastard!’ Normally I’d say they were National Front, but a third of them were black. They were just lads out for violence. I got some bad cuts from that. It severed two tendons, so my left hand is fucked forever, and as I’m left-handed, I can’t close the fist properly. I’ll never play guitar: there’s no power to it. I jumped into the car and someone jumped after me with a machete and cut me from there [he points to his thigh about a foot down] . . . to there [his knee]. I had on extremely thick leather trousers at the time, thank fucking God, because it would have ripped the muscle out and now I’d be a one-legged hoppity.'”
The attacks on the Pistols, and punks in general, continued. On June 19th 1977, the very next day — after Rotten, producer Chris Thomas and studio boss Bill Price were attacked outside the Pegasus — Pistols drummer Paul Cook was attacked with iron bars at Shepherd’s Bush Tube station. Then, on June 23, 1977, during a Pirates gig at Dingwalls, Rotten’s arm suffered more damage when it was bashed in undetermined violent club behavior.
随分前の話だけど、イギリスではパンクグループのセックスピストルが演奏を予定していた大学での校内で演奏中止、また、放送禁止、さらに、街では暴漢に暴力をふるわれていたわけですね。
それでも、ツアーだかは強行した、みたいだから、津田のお兄ちゃんみたいなヘタレではないわけだね。
あるいは、津田のお兄ちゃんもこれから、トラックかなんかで問題作品群運んで、日本国中ドサ回りやったらどうか？
津田のおにいちゃんがヘタレである理由
表現の不自由、とかいいながら、
１）イスラム教徒の聖人を冒涜するイラスト、ろくでなしこさんのマンコ模型、ネットのヘイトスピーチなど表現が制限されている作品は除外した。
２）電話で抗議されて、展示を中止した。
ちなみに、私は作品はまったく評価しない。
しかし、
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,
あんたの意見には反対だが、あんたがそれを言う権利は死んでも守る、という至言と同じで、作品がくだらない、あるいは、欲情的、あるいは、冒涜的と評価されるものでも、美術展で作品を展示する権利は、かなり重視している。
