    Well the money went missing and the knife cleaned so it was a robbery which ended up with a stabbing, so she died as a result. Wasn't originally a homicide but it ended up as so. Even if we identified the killer, they probably would be dead anyway. Lydon puts it simply: "Smack happened" perfect.

    Regardless of his public persona, Sid was not a tough guy or a bad ass. He was mostly a young quiet guy, the type that are attracted to H and thought he had to live up to the Sex Pistols image. He was so out of it 90% of the time and especially the night she died I dont think he was capable of doing it. It also takes a certain type of person (psychopath) to stab a unarmed, non threatening, high as a kite, almost naked 100 lb female. There are many people that point to a guy/dealer going in their room and its said they didn't like dealing with Nancy but Sid was cool. I could easily see her coming up short or owing a dealer, then mouthing off acting like she's a celebrity, and the dealer had enough & just snapped. Sid was probably nodded out the whole time till the NYPD woke him up about the murder. He was still all nodded out when they had him at the station questioning him. The NYPD could have cared less about another junky death back in those days.

    To be totally honest with all you guys over the last few years I’ve had quite a few comments asking me if my name is Mr Fugazi because I like the band Fugazi, and I’m not gonna bullshit you all and say yeah when the true answer is no, and that’s the only way that I ever heard about this band Fugazi which being 62 years old I’m totally surprised that I didn’t know about this band to be honest with you all, the reason my name is Mr Fugazi is because since I was 15 years old I have researched Organised Crime in America from the beginning and in the movie Donnie Brasco which is movie about a FBI undercover agent infiltrated one of the 5 families in New York, the Bonanno family and Johnny Depp played the agent and Al Pacino played a gangster and if any of you haven’t seen the movie I strongly recommend it because it’s a great movie but anyway for a giggle my son decided to change my name to Mr Fugazi because in the opening scene in the movie Al Pacino character went to the agent and asked him if he get rid of a very expensive diamond ring and the agent said, do you have a girlfriend and Pacino said yes so Depp said, then give it to your girlfriend if you want to be a dumski because it’s a Fugazi (fake), I hated it at first but, a few guys that have mob podcasts have said on a few occasions that they really love the name so over the years it’s grown on me plus because, of that name I’ve got to learn about a great band that I’m surprised that I didn’t know about years ago but, I’m really glad I know about them now and thank you for doing this video buddy because I understand now why they were so popular back in the day.

    There were two big musical acts that my dad raised my brother and I on, those were Weird Al Yankovic, And DEVO. to the broader pop-culture sphere, DEVO is regarded as a one-hit-wonder for "Whip It", but they were always so much more than that to me. I grew up watching a VHS of DEVO's videos, I grew up primarily knowing "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" as a DEVO song first and foremost.

    That's not the same Alan Parker. The Alan Parker that you mention is the director of Mississippi Burning and Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' starring Bob 'line my pocket' Geldof. Alan G Parker directed 'Love Kills' and 'Who Killed Nancy?' He had access to Sid's mother Anne Beverly for interviews. I think he has 2 books out there on the subject. Not knocking you BTW because most people don't give a shit about the Pistols and their history. It's good to see people still discussing the subject.
