Happy Birthday John Lydon, 59 today...

John Lydon is 59 today, hard to believe. I could put any number of Sex Pistols tracks up here, or indeed numerous Public Image Limited ones. Here's what I chose, the rather uplifting Public Image Ltd, Rise (the 12"Version).

1986 seems a long time ago now!

John Lydon on not boycotting Israel

I did post about this back in 2011 but missed this bit of John Lydon speaking. As I posted then:

"Until I see an Arab country, a Muslim country, with a democracy, I won't understand how anyone can have a problem with how they're treated."

John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten explaining why he will be performing in Israel, in Tel Aviv in fact."

I always did like John Lydon

"Until I see an Arab country, a Muslim country, with a democracy, I won't understand how anyone can have a problem with how they're treated."

John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten explaining why he will be performing in Israel, in Tel Aviv in fact."

Thanks to Sue at Biased BBC for the quote spot.


And here to wake you up is PIL with "Rise"
