This is Rare.......I had no idea this was even around. This is Sid and Nancy on NYC TV... channel 78 or something. Its a UHF channel long before the age of digital cable. There seems to be no censorship issues and the cussing is just part of the charm.
They both look somehow upbeat in this interview. Thats Dead Boy Stiv Bators sitting next to Sid. The Pistols had already broken up when this aired. If you listen to the interview Nancy talks about the shows she lined up for Sid at Max's Kansas City and some gigs lined up in Philadelphia... her home town.
These gigs would prove to be the very last time Sid would ever hit the stage as a performer. Nancy would be murdered by junkies in the upcoming weeks and Sid would be carted off to Rikers Island.
Then the story gets even stranger. On a recent episode of Biography it was announced that Sids own mother Anne Beverly injected Sid with the fatal dose of Heroin that would take his life. It was further mentioned that she did this deliberately in an effort to kill him. This would spare him the pain of 20 years in prison and the agony of being without Nancy. If this statement is true then Vicious was killed... or even.. murdered by his own birth mother.
Anne Beverly would later die in 1996 of a heroin overdose in east London.
Its interesting to watch this interview unfold knowing that the trail leads to nowhere fast.
