On this date in 1981, Public Image Ltd released their fourth album, Flowers Of Romance. It included the single, "Flowers Of Romance" (#24 U.K.). The London post-punk band, fronted by John Lydon (Johnny Rotten) formerly of Sex Pistols, lasted until 1993.

HI, Victor from Japan.
I experienced P.I.L. after Pistols at the real time John Lydon had started his performing arts.
Actually, I am interested to publish my blog, http://d-k-tv.blogspot.com, about the light arts that random images of abstract pictures on PC-HDD of 1 Million pictures are being projected to the nature background (scene of a temple, a castle, buildings, parc etc.). I am wondering if those images of a sort of LIVE music will match together as a Jazz Live session of '60s Miles Davis and John Coltrane's session, Bill Evans and Miles in the album 'Kind of Blues'.
Hope to see those guys who collects Post Punk movement records in somewhere in the globe and I wll sometimes come back to this blog for information.
I live in Oska, Japan now and looking for good musicians for my friends' art, D-K, Digital Kakejiku.

Did anybody out there see PIL at the Ritz in NYC when the crowd ripped down the big screen. I unfortunately missed that show but I did see PIL later on.
I was there. That was surreal. "Ohhhhh, yaw not THROWING enough. This is wot we cawwll a PASSIVE AUDIENCE.... If you teh down that screen, WE'LL DESTROOYYYY YOOOOUUU...."
There were Pistols fans CRYING, FCOL. Heck, I figured I would've paid that for a Richard Pryor show.
Definitely more entertaining than Bow Wow Wow (the band who'd been scheduled), in any case....
Great show to take a girl on a first date on, BTW. (I'm being facetious.)
That was a legendary show, Carl. I, unfortunately, missed it too. My friend Rich went and I couldn't believe what had happened when he told me.
I saw them twice afterwards. Mookie, the Nassau Community College show...we were both at that one, right?
Yep, Johnny was in his PiL pajamas and everyone was spitting on him all night.
Yeah. The entire floor was one big slam fest.
Yeah, I saw them once after that at Roseland. People were climbing the stage, and bouncers were literally grabbing people by their faces and throwing them off the stage while Johnny cackled away. THAT time I wanted to beat the crap out of him. >:(
At least we got to catch Mykel Board's Art as the warm-up. One guitar player, a dude on a little Schroeder piano, and two girls doing the lyrics in sign language (as well as the guitar solos, which was comprised of them pogoing and strumming). "Art, great art, you get it from an art-rock band/Art, great art, you get it any way you can." "Should I Pay Or Should I Blow?" ("Pay 20 dollars so that you (duhduhduhDUHDUHDUHDUH)/ Can see us warm up for The Who" -- priceless). And of course their big hit, "Funny People with Ugly Hairdos" (aka "We're All Boat People")... you oughta track THAT one down.... it's a terrible album, but it was hysterical at the time....
