He was a modern day hero of the working class and the disenfranchised.
He thumbed his nose at the law.
He escaped to Brazil and hitched up with a local beauty and then performed with the "Sex Pistols".
He certainly lived his life to the full.
R.I.P. Ronnie.

There was a lot of dissatisfaction with the established State at that time post-war and the robbery certainly caught the public's desire for a thumbing of noses.
