John Lydon

[LordMorgan]

Some really horrible comments regarding immigration, from an immigrant himself who lives in California
Scapegoating pish , but here's a quote...

"It's created a real, real animosity in communities. The division... when you import so many people with a completely different point of view, they're not going to adapt to yours. They're going to stay and bring the problems they're allegedly escaping from with them."

Just really sad and disappointing

I know he went all trump and brexit , But his interview with Andrew Marr was horrible
Marr asked what's the difference between when your family immigrated

 "The first thing my mum and dad ever would tell me when I was very young was, 'You're British now! Be British, and be proud of it, Most excellent advice, and I've followed through."

[extraordinary walnuts]

"and by followed through I mean taken a shit with my clothes on"

Listened to a great interview with Jah Wobble on the Word In Your Ear podcast last month, he could not have been sounder. What a contrast

[Kankurette]

Oh yeah, he's been a right-wing cunt for years, fully on the anti-woke bandwagon. Another punk turned establishment, though how establishment the Sex Pistols were was a whole nother argument.

[dontpaintyourteeth]

Weird how he disappeared after Flowers of Romance and never said or did anything publicly ever again isn't it la la la

Old punks never die they just become reactionary cunts.

I'd like to think Joe Strummer would have dodged this bullet, but you never know how him growing old in the online world could have turned his brain into mush.

He did a solo album called Psycho's Path which I mainly remember because that has to be one of the worst album titles ever.

He also got pecked by emus on I'm A Celebrity, though tbf that's still the only series of that show I ever watched.

His first two memoirs are good. Not read that more recent one because it was prohibitively expensive but perhaps that's for the best. Bit depressing that someone who wrote a book called "No Irish No Blacks No Dogs" could express anti-immigration sentiment innit?

[Pink Gregory]

I'll never watch Megabugs again

[Blue Jam]

I used to have a Megabugs postcard on my fridge! One of those lenticular ones. Whenever you changed the angle (by opening the fridge) you'd see John Lydon's bug-eyed face morphing into that of a preying mantis. No idea where I got it or where I lost it.

it was the cover of the DVD set (that I inexplicably own)

and what an incredible EP it was

[Glebe]

Well fuck that. Turned into another Moz.

Thanks for that info. I remember watching (and enjoying) the entire series but not on DVD, I must have torrented it. No idea where the postcard could have come from but it was ace.

[Chicory]

Could be wrong, could be far right.

[Beagle 2]

Has John Lydon said something outrageous has he

[LordMorgan]

Don't think it's outrageous
Just depressing reactionary shite

[jobotic]

What's it got to do with him?

[Captain Z]

I'm never buying Country Life butter again.

[DrumsAndWires]

modern lydon has turned into everything that young lydon would've hated

[Brundle-Fly]

This notion that John Lydon was ever considered as this leftwing anti-establishment figure has always baffled me. He's always been a contrarian. And plays the 'Rotten' character.
 
I do think he's in a bad place now though after losing his wife and 'Rambo', but that's not really an excuse to peddle this latest bollocks.

[Memorex MP3]

Someone whose whole personality was to be a contrarian arsehole and got a lot of success from it was always gonna be played into being reactionary cunt.

[xxxx xxx x xxx]

I'll certainly never listen to Poptones, best track on possibly the greatest album ever made, again.

(with the greatest respect), that's a bit daft.

Can you be Irish and an Ex Pat?

[TheAssassin]

Well fuck that. Turned into another Moz.

Must be an Irish thing.

[Noodle Lizard]

Oof, didn't know his mate Rambo had died as well. Rough year.

All this stuff pre-dates all that, of course, I think I started a thread of my own about it a couple of years back. I can understand a "punk"/contrarian justification for supporting Trump in 2016, but becoming a regular on Piers Morgan to complain about the wokes and go on about how great the Queen is? Jesus, boy.

[Juan K Perros]

Cuntry Life.

[xxxx xxx x xxx]

(with the greatest respect), that's a bit daft.

What, my choice of favourite track or sledgehammer sarcasm?
