I hate Sid Vicious. Worst decision EVER in punk. Apparently, one of the reasons they threw out Matlock (the original Pistol's bassist) is because he liked the Beatles! And also apparently Sid looked more of the part. In my opinion, getting a new bassist because they looked prettier is one of the stupidest decisions in ALL of punk. Heck, he could even play bass! LEMMY, the LEGENDARY bassist from Motörhead TRIED to teach him even SIMPLE bass lines and Lemmy said that he was no good, and a lost cause. They made some of the best British punk ever but ruined it by putting the poop stain that is Sid vicious into the band.

Okay, all jokes aside, even though I still primarily only think of Sid the sloth, there were two jazz connotations I quickly remembered. Sid Catlett, the bebop drummer, and Sid Phillips, the clarinet player who also made a couple APM tracks featured on SpongeBob (Sugar Beat).
Sid Ahmed Rezala was an Algerian-born French serial killer, dubbed "The Killer of the Trains". He was suspected of killing at least three women in 1999. Arrested in Portugal in early 2000, he confessed his murders to a reporter from the Figaro Magazine. Several weeks after, he committed suicide before he could be extradited to France. He was asphyxiated by intentionally setting fire to the mattress in his cell while his prison guards watched football on TV.
