Sex Pistols High Times cover October 1977

High Times was founded in 1974 by Tom Forcade of the Underground Press Syndicate. High Times was originally meant to be a joke, "a one-shot lampoon of Playboy. Like Playboy each issue contains a centerfold photo, but instead of a nude woman, High Times typically features a choice grade of cannabis plant. In addition to high-quality photography, High Times featured cutting-edge journalism covering a wide range of topics including politics, activism, drugs, sex, music and film.

In 1977 Tom Forcade aligned himself and the magazine with the New Wave. Blondie were featured on the cover of the June 1977 issue and Johnny Rotten was the cover star for October of that year. The Rotten picture was taken by Mick Rock and Forcade filmed the Sex Pistols for his DOA movie. Also included in the High Times Sex Pistols' issue was a statement made by Patti Smith following a cancelled WNEW-FM broadcast of the Patti Smith Group.

WHAT PERMIT? It only took a New York minute for the police at Lincoln Center to shoo away Keanan Duffty's "guerrilla fashion show." Duffty, who is relaunching his label for spring, foresaw that. But in that short time, the designer and his five models — silently carrying signs and looking very young rocker in officer jackets, plaid shirts and skinny pants — managed to attract a crowd on the plaza, which is, after all, full of people just waiting for something to photograph. Unfazed, Keanan and the models paraded onward to 63rd Street for a bit longer. No budget, no permission, no problem.
