"I cared deeply about what we were doing with the Pistols and it was hurtful to be put in a ‘punk’ package alongside lesser mortals,” Rotten explained. “But the Raincoats offered a completely different way of doing things, as did X-Ray Spex and all the books about punk have failed to realise that these women were involved for no other reason than that they were good and original. “It’s a million miles away from the blancmange that is Green Day, where you have a Johnny Rotten first verse, a Billy Idol chorus and a Sham 69-second verse. Preposterous"

Saturday Detention
The story of a group of kids from different cliques in high school are sent for various different reasons to Saturday detention. They are tasked with writing an essay to explain why they are there. During the movie we find out why each of the individuals have been punished. Each clique is reprsented in this movie. The Jock (Estevez) The popular one (ringwald) The Nerd (Hall) The basket case (sheedy) and last but not least the trouble maker (Nelson) the movie shows us forms of peer pressure and what it is like to try and survive in a difficult high school and difficult life at home. The movie is a drama and shows us that every person has a weakness and is vunerable to emotion. Fun note the lead song by Simple Minds was supposed to be a Billy Idol song but, he turned it down.
