Det skal markeres…
Politiken råber ud til alle verdenshjørner at togrøveren Ronnie Biggs måske står umiddelbart foran hans løsladelse.
Ronnie Biggs var en voldsforbryder, men han var en voldsforbryder i 1963, og hans ene offer døde af leukemi i 1970. Så jeg kan godt unde Ronnie Biggs at dø i frihed. Jeg kan godt unde Ronnie Biggs at leve et liv der ikke udelukkende defineres igennem hans ene semi-sociopatiske handling for 46 år siden.
Ronnie Biggs vil blive husket som ‘ham der forbryderen’, men jeg vil gøre mit til at han huskes som ‘ham der forbryderen.. …du ved med togrøveriet og så’n nogen ting… Nårh, ja for resten – han indspillede DEN FEDESTE PUNK-ANTHEM NOGENSINDE sammen med Die Toten Hosen’
I anledning af Ronnie Biggs snarlige løsladelse, så har denne blogger tænkt sig at sætte sig bag rattet i min DeLorean, og presse speedometeret op til 88 miles i timen. Jeg har tænkt mig at være 15 år igen i de næste 3 minutter og 27 sekunder:
Den fedeste punk-anthem nogensinde
*****
…og fordi Ronnie Biggs hverken kan synge eller ar-ti-ku-le-re, så bringer jeg her teksten i sin helhed.
Punk was rotten, punk was vicious,
always being unambitious.
Punk was a piss-up, punk was a punch-up,
picking your nose and chucking your lunch up.
Punk was obnoxious, punk was obscene,
having a pop at our dear Queen.
Punk was a twisted tasteless trip,
punk was a pin through her majesty’s lip.
We never took shit from noone, we just didn’t give a fuck.
If you didn’t like our music, that was just your bloody hard luck.
Punk was a riot, every night a rumble,
a nice bit o’blow and a nice bit o’grumble.
Punk was a sleazy, punk was a slum,
polaroid pics in bed with your mum.
Punk was unhealthy, quite unclean,
it was a mockery, malignant mean.
Punk was criminal, punk was a con,
and so was our favourite fugitive Ron.
We never took shit from noone, we just didn’t give a fuck.
If you didn’t like our music, that was just your bloody hard luck.
Now open your eyes and listen my son, there’s no reason to be sad.
Just hang around and stay with us, it’ll all be coming back.
We never took shit from noone, we just didn’t give a fuck.
If you didn’t like our music, that was just your bloody hard luck.

Det holdt dengang jeg var 15 – for fanden, hvor det holdt…

Ron Biggs var en forbryder, ja. En forhærdet en af slagsen, ja.
Men den værste forbrydelse var, at han udstillede Scotland Yard som et middelmådigt korps, der havde svært ved at finde hoved og hale. Derfor blev han straffet hårdere end andre med mere samfundsødelæggende kriminalitet bag sig.
