FODDERSTOMPF - Key Persons


Bob Miller

Bob Miller worked with PiL circa 1982-84 co-producing and engineering the 'This is Not a Love Song' single; and what would have been their 4th studio album (later released unfinished by Keith Levene as 'Commercial Zone'). PiL began recording the album at Park South Studios in NYC (often mistakenly called South Park Studios) with in-house engineer Chris Jorgenson, however, things didn't quite work out and assistant Bob Miller was given the job by the band. Miller was later asked to co-produce the record along with PiL. And in turn was looked upon as a full member of the company; effectively becoming "PiL Technical Production Manager". As well as producing and engineering he worked Front-of-House sound for their live gigs; and later the 1983 Japanese and European Tours. Miller had never spoken about his time with PiL until he spoke to Fodderstompf in August 2006… He is still in the recording business and owns a company called 'BobDigital' which specialises in Music Production, Video Editing, DVD Authoring, Multimedia Creation, and Graphic Design.

Don Letts

A friend of John Lydon's - and boyfriend of Jeannette Lee - Letts was a regular on the Gunter Grove scene; circa 1978/79. Although never a real member of PiL - or ever intended to be - in the very, very early days of the band, during spring 1978, Letts reportedly jammed with the band at rehearsals, but was never intended to join. He also Djay'd the groundbreaking 1978 Rainbow Christmas gigs. And apparently acted as 'Art Director' for the 'Public Image' promo video.
