Johnny payed his dues back when the pistols started, now if he wants to earn some money let him, he at least deserves something for inspiring a generation
Rotten sings his best when he's pissed off. When he's REALLY angry, he's the most harrowing, terrifying thing you'll ever hear. There's no rock singer out there quite like him. I bet this was a good show.
It's ironic that Malcolm created the Sex Pistols and made Mr Lydon er..slightly wealthier than he might otherwise have been. PIL would not have had the fan base without the Sex Pistols as the foundation stone for John's future work and notoriety.True though McClaren is a hideous example of humans exploiting eachother whatever the cost and a thoroughly unpleasant man, I do have a soft spot for Lydon though.
I appreciate that you dislike McClaren but the concept of swindling the public by packaging and marketing the sex pistols was his idea, he did create them but the idea of selling anything to the public backfired when they realised he was using them to make a political point for his own ego. I met Lydon in 1980 and heard this from the horses mouth.
I often figure it's a love-hate relationship between these two.
