    John is cool as fuck in this interview. You can tell he's totally relaxed, kicking back with a Corona and having a jolly fun time. I dig how he's wearing Air Jordans and Vision Street Wear skate pants. Pretty much what I wore back then.

      Yes he comes a cross as no fool.
      Tells it how it is
      Very intelligent man.
      I mean you can't catch him out , that's what I now like about him.
      I mean this shows you can look crazy , and be nice
      Or look nice and be crazy.
      You can look stupid and be intelligent
      And visa versa.
      The list goes on
      Including seem rich and be poor .
      It's all a big miscommunication
      And misconception.
      Badly judged .
      So there you go
      We do tent to miss judge a lot of things and people, which is a shame really
      And he is proved this
      So good for him.
      Such a good lesson.
      Ignorance for us all.
      Amen

    Lydon never NEVER ceases to make me smile or laugh; especially when the chips are down; he's a one man charismatic show and you can tell he has enormous fun with his persona and his irreverent humour, especially in the company of people on a televised show......he's just a total joy for me, even when he's (faux) mean or cranky. His ability to take a conversation anywhere HE chooses is almost unrivalled. He really is the bollox :D

    Funny how Lydon says he has "piss all in the bank" when in 1990 he paid seven figures for the house he is currently selling. I love Lydon and his Richard III meets Bart Simpson persona is at times quite hilarious, but come on Johnny. He married into money decades ago.

    Absolute classic. This must have been recorded when the show went out live because I remember watching it myself but I recorded the repeat which was shown the following night where the Malcolm McClaren part was edited out and the word 'c***t' was censored. There's still some of the interview missing here though, like the introduction when he explained about the tourist visa and when he called TC a 'dumb bastard' when talking about PIL. Still, this has got to be Johnny at his finest.
