Núria Triana Toribio, in an essay on Pedro Almodóvar in Contemporary Spanish Studies (ed. Jordan, Morgan-Tamosunas), neatly points out that the Sex Pistols played their first concert in London in November 1975 – which was the month that General Franco died. She goes on to make too much of the fact, perhaps, but it’s a nice, succinct indicator of how quickly Spain has moved on.
