A recent renovation of the house where the Sex Pistols were based has brought some new discoveries to light. It appears that inside the home were scribbles and graffiti on the wall done by the band while were encamped here. Most of the work was done by Johnny Rotten with obvious disdain for Malcolm McLaren, as shown above, where McLaren is pictured with a wad of money in his hand.
Two archeologists from York University are working on the renovation, and have pleaded that the walls of graffiti be preserved for their cultural and historical significance. The pair claim that the drawings are not unlike prehistoric cave art, and should be preserved as such. The duo have even petitioned for the home to have one of the blue historical plaques placed outside to show it is a historical monument.
The duo found eight pieces of ‘art’ on the walls, and say that the handiwork of Johnny Rotten was due to the process of the band becoming ‘too posh’.
