    Pete was totally enamored of punk and probably would have traded his arena-rock years for a chance to be young again in 1979-80. Instead of being bitter, he wrote this great tune.

    Said once that he went out drinking with the Sex Pistols rhythm players, Jones and Cook, who told him they didn't hate every pre-punk band, which he found reassuring. Then he got so drunk he had to be hospitalized, or so he joked.

    It's dedicated to his kids and to the Sex Pistols. I think it's safe to say the lyrical content is more focused on the latter, haha.

    I believe he wrote this song about his two kids.
