Footnotes

"This is actually in my toilet, in the house I shared with Phil Lynott. When Phil wasn't away on tour, Paul Cook and Steve Jones from The Pistols used to pop round all the time. One day they bought Sid and Nancy over. Unusually, as I didn't like taking pictures in Phil's house, I agreed to a request from Nancy to take a shot of her and Sid. The only room that wasn't a mess that day, was the bathroom. I think it shows two youngsters in love, she's holding him quite tenderly, and he's giving off his 'Sid vibe'".
