For all you rebels out there, this is worth a watch:
'Narrated by Kiefer Sutherland, Rebels brings the history of counter-culture movements to life. From Bohemians and the Beat Generation to the Psychedelic Revolution, Punk Rebellion, Radical Environmentalism and the New Edge Underground, this mini-series examines our secret heroes who have defied the status quo through the ages in the search for truth. Counterculture didn't appear out of nowhere in the '60s. The rebel has had influence on the Western World since biblical times. From the standpoint of established Roman authority, Jesus of Nazareth was a cultural rebel. The most memorable characters in our cinema are rebels. Mad outlaws and misfit prophets fascinate our sense of adventure, they symbolize a search for truth beyond the ordinary, they reveal their inner conflicts and reflect ours and they underline our guarded desire for alternatives to the status quo.'

Sorry, couldn't resist. LOL!
Actually, this looks very interesting. I hope it shows up on netflix so I can watch the whole thing (crappy download speed here in the hinterlands.) Good to see Mr Lydon is included. In the music section, I hope they also mention other founding punk rebels like The Ramones and NY Dolls as well as the country outlaws, Johnny, Waylon, Kris, Willie and Merle.
