 We
Only Wanted To Be Loved?
The
main reason behind this site is to try
represent Public Image Limited
on the internet – lets face it –
it's badly needed. To say PiL are underrated
and misunderstood would be a vast understatement.
We hope to go someway towards solving
that.
If
you're new to Public Image read our PiL
Biography for starters…
Virtually
everything and everybody is covered
throughout Fodderstompf. Use the
site as a guide and do some digging
of your own. Form your own tastes
and opinions. It’s
all there, you've no excuses…
Fodderstompf
was originally launched in February 1999
by "M". The PiL site for people
who knew better. Unfortunately, over the
next couple of years a severe illness
made it harder for her to devote time
to the site, and February 2001 saw her
team up with Scott M (no relation) to
collaborate on a new overhauled site.
Scott
had previously been editor of the
successful Sex Pistols / PiL fanzine
'The
Filth and the Fury'. After finishing
"F&F" in late 2000 he had
been considering starting a PiL website
(always his first love over the Pistols),
and so F&Fodderstompf
was born. However, soon after,
due to illness, M decided to stand down
and let Scott go it alone, artistic
differences weren't even mentioned!
Honest. Some features from the old site
are still around so M is technically
still involved; now taking up a mysterious
'Jeannette Lee' type role behind the
scenes...
With
the new site, came a new member, Karsten
Roekens. A true gent, and an archivist
of the highest order. Karsten works effortlessly
in the shadows finding out information
we shouldn't even care about!
PiL
could be very tongue-in-cheek, and we
will continue that tradition. Dishing
the dirt if necessary. We're
a Communications Company, not a website…
Fodderstompf
is not an official PiL website, and has
no need to be. However, we do have the
support of many members, most importantly,
including John Lydon. We actively invite
PiL people to contribute with news, information
and interviews etc. We're also looking
for your contributions, so get in touch…
As
we said, basically it's all here, now
it's up to you... Now you're understanding,
don't be vegetating… |
