Jonny Rotten? Celebrity gameshow fodder? Is this the final nail in the coffin of punk? I hear certain sad old men ask as they shake their heads and tut in their semi-detached homes having got home from their semi-detached jobs to their semi-detached wives. Of course it's not, you dank fools. Punk died long long ago, and anyway, it was cremated.
So what's he up to? I mean, John Lydon's not been 'punk' for a long time, he's too clever to cling to something like that. However, he's been a mischievious, malevolent, intelligent and decidedly non-mainstream presence who won't take any shit. What's he gonna do then? Who is he going to piss off? The general public by being rude, offensive and beligerent? That would be too easy. The vapid Z-listers he's out there with? That would be cruelty to animals, surely. My guess is he's out to piss off YOU Mr sad punka, by playing the game with one eyebrow archly raised and one finger up at you behind his back. So he's a property developer in Hollywood? He's married to a German heiress? What a sell-out! Duh. He's 47! What did you think he'd be doing? Did you expect him to be gobbing over his adoring peers like he did when he was 17? Except metaphorically of course, he is....

having never watched the show before last night, i have to say mr lydon is good value for money, generally fooling around and taking the piss in his own subtle way, who knows whether he can sustain this over the duration of the show.
and i wish he'd punch that twat mike read, by jove he's lost the weight since he was on eastenders. |

nah me neither, but the appearance of lydon has made it essential viewing for me cos you know he's gonna fuck up the system in one way or another.
great moment when he walked into the pre jungle party, swaggering around pulling faces and generally not giving a shite. and he goes 'Im Johnny if your interested'. i think he can only go onwards and upwards from this point, thing is with johnny you just know he's ripping the piss out of the whole thing. apparently there is a film of his life getting made soon, wonder who'll play him? and talk of a PIL reunion, though one would hope its the 1979 model with jah wobble as opposed to the 1989 american stadium rock model. |

i liked the bit where they showed him in a recording studio, as if he's making records these days!!!!!
he was a twat in 1996 and sadly 7 years on.... he's still a twat. although i once knew an australian couple who used to work in a bar with him and they said he was actually a really sound bloke. but i don't trust aussie's..... apart from rolf harris, you know where you stand with him. |
