I don't mind ? - he's making the seminal* Sex Pistols film now. The bit about a glass being hurled at the audience and blinding a woman in the eye is pretty horrible.

Yes, I've already experienced his reminiscing about the couple who'd been married 22 years and tried anal sex for the first time, after seeing him talk about it in on an early gig, and how they wrote to thank him for putting them in the picture about something they'd been missing out on.
Apologies if this isn't the right thread, it's a plug for an ebook I've written, that's free to download from Amazon until New Year's Eve. A collection of short funny stories that form the basis of my podcast Don't Share With Mother. I could argue it's what I'm reading right now to justify the gratuitous plug.
