A picture named st1.jpg "You dirty bastard! You dirty fucker! What a fucking rotter." Sex Pistol Steve Jones, known for his linguistic ability to call a spade a spade, is now hosting a Radio Show based in Los Angeles, called Jones's Jukebox. You can hear it from 7-9pm British summertime; everywhere else (well, LA time) it's from 12-2pm. Direct link is here, the transcript of the infamous Grundy interview here and the picture of Steve was stolen from this site. Via Apodal.
