‘No harm in winning silverware’ – McStay on winning start

Really? I thought it was the SIX Pistols! I thought there was Johnny, Sid Vicious… and, er,…four others. You know, like The Jackson 5, only one more!

They were nothing like The Jackson 5! Really? Are you sure they weren’t called The Six Pistols?

ABSOLUTELY SURE! The Sex Pistols! Oh okay, but I think ‘six’ would have been better.

Well, you might think so, but it wouldn’t have been as edgy! I mean, these guys were…punks!

There’s no need to be derogatory…

I mean punk rockers! They were rebels!

I KNOW THAT! That’s why I reached out to Johnny this week!

Huh?

(They pause to ask the barman to turn down the colour as Dancing with the Stars comes on)

Will I explain?

Please do explain what you mean about reaching out to Johnny…I’m confused!

Johnny Rotten! I rang him at the weekend!

My friend, I worry about you sometimes… You know he’s a contender to represent Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest… Yes, yes!

But not with the Six Pistols… SEX PISTOLS!

The Prime Minister of New Zealand shocked the political world by announcing she is resigning (no later than February 7th), quitting the role at just 42 years of age because she “no longer has enough in the tank”

They’re gone, long gone…

I KNOW!

He’s in the Eurovision running with another band…Public Image Ltd. The six bands on the shortlist will be on the Late Late on February 3rd…

Can’t wait! Look, I KNOW all of this. But what’s it got to do with you?

Well, Johnny Rotten has Irish connections. So I did some investigative work…

Some googling?

Well, yeah, but point is, I got HIS NUMBER. So I rang him! To offer our services as roadies!

WHAT?

Well, I reckoned if Johnny and his band qualify for the Eurovision, we could get a free trip to Liverpool! What a week it would be! So, I rang him and offered our services as roadies!

YOU DIDN’T!

I DID!

(They pause to watch Shane Byrne strutting his stuff)

He was a great listener…initially!

Huh?

Johnny Rotten…

You didn’t get speaking to him!

I did! I told him all about Ireland’s rebel pedigree when it comes to the Eurovision!

Huh?

I explained about Dana, Jedward… and Dustin!

Oh dear…did he hang up?

Far from it, he’s a lovely guy! I said we’d be interested in becoming his chief roadies if he makes it to Liverpool!
