“There were only, like, 200 people,” reporter and critic Legs McNeil informed New York publication in2008 “So you met everyone pretty quickly. It wasn’t a scene that anyone wanted to be a part of.”
“Nancy had one of those passions for rock and roll that very few people have,” he continued. “She knew everything about every album. Groupies in those days were different. They were a part of the scene. Everyone was treated the same. The roadies were treated the same as the rock stars. The groupies were treated the same as the rock stars. It was completely democratic.”
But after 2 years of tough living in New York, she removed for London, where she fulfilled Sid and was glued to his side by the time the Sex Pistols started their very first and only U.S. trip in January1978 Which Nancy was prohibited from, the bulk of the “God Save the Queen” rockers having actually taken an instant doing not like to her.
In his 1994 book, John Lydon described her as “that beast” and a “spoiled cow.” But he wasn’t being “vindictive,” he ensured. Rather, “She was a really self-destructive human who was identified to take as lots of people down with her as possible. Nancy Spungen was the total Titanic searching for the iceberg, and she desired a complete load.”
Artist and author Leee Childers, a trip supervisor for New York- based punk band The Heartbreakers, informed Legs McNeill for his book Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk that Nancy “was a very, very, very, very, very, very bad influence on people who were already a mess. She was a troublemaker and a stirrer-upper.”
