To accuse the Sex Pistols of having elements of "right wing" national socialist aspects to their music is a very serious allegation, can you please cite your sources & their context. (ie what was the context of Sid wearing a swastika? What elements of racism in their lyrics? Are you referring to Belsen was a gas?)
Considering that it was the 1970's and many members & affiliates of the band hung out in reggae and gay & lesbian clubs. I have reason to doubt this accusation, thank you.
