It's not every day that you get to come into work and telephone a member of the Sex Pistols for a chat. But that's exactly what Mary Lucia and Production Manager Derrick Stevens did on Tuesday, Oct. 24, when they dialed original Pistols' guitarist Steve Jones to talk about the 40th anniversary of Never Mind the Bollocks. The results were, on one hand, totally punk rock; on the other hand, an important lesson in perseverance.

Fortunately, we captured the whole thing on video, which you can watch above.
