Audio interview. Not happy about the lockdown or California Democrats.
Johnny Rotten has done some of the best interviews.
Believe it or not, Johnny Rotten has long been on our side.
Anger is an energy.
This doesn’t come as a surprise to me at all but I heard the interview tonight on Larry Elder and had to find the whole thing (pretty much all of it was played on the air today).
And I couldn’t find it on youtube (although there are some posts about it there).
+1,2,3,4,5, I think so far.
In previous interviews he’s challenged the notion that Donald Trump is a racist.
Back in the 70s, he was the only one speaking up about Jimmy Savile.
Thanks a fool in paradise. I think I met him in the meadow where the story began.

‘Bodies’ is the ultimate anti-abortion song.
Yup.
Can’t say I envy him having to care for a wife with Alzheimer’s. With my grandmother, I witnessed firsthand what the disease does to a person. I made it a point to visit her whenever I could, and I always considered it a good visit when she remembered who I was - there were a couple times she thought I was my father. I also remember my mom being heartbroken when she realized her own mother didn’t know who she was as Grandma neared the end.
Orane man bad would be a great band!
Thanks for posting this. I love PIL/John Lyndon and last remember him going off over the homeless that were invading his yard in California. He is definitely not a brainwashed moron like most people in the music business.
Long been fascinated with Lydon. PIL’s First Issue is one of my favorite records. 1:21 into it, he announces “I’m not the same as when I began. I will not be treated as property.” #WALKAWAY
On the lockdowns: "I don't think lockdown is doing any good for anybody. Wrecking an economy is not the smartest move to cure any illness or virus or disease. I mean we're all capable of wearing masks. We're all smart enough not to want to give each other filthy horrible viruses. Give people the chance to work. Don't just close everything down...We're being imprisoned, slowly but surely."
On not working: "What bothers me quite a lot, and I don't mean to sound selfish with this cuz it directly affects everybody equally, is that I can't function. Live performance was the essence of Public Image Ltd. And to be denied that, well that's, that's crippling us and no doubt at some point if that continues will kill us off. And will kill off everything. It will kill off all industries. If we can't work, right, well, us working class are going to get up and do something about that at some point."
On Democrats: "Seems to me that what the Democrats here in America are promising will be tax hikes beyond belief, more lockdowns, more confusion, more bureaucracy and less answers...Yes, I am (voting Republican), oh I'm going to definitely...I have seen what Democrats have done to California. They have destroyed this place."
On voting for Trump: "Well, he's, he's an individual thinker, I'll give him that for a start. He's not the most lovable fellow on God's earth. But I cannot see the opposition as offering me anything by way of a solution. Joe Biden is, is in all practicality senile. And delinquently senile. My wife has Alzheimer's, I know the symptoms, bugger that..."
"Yes, of course I'm voting for Trump, it's bad person or not. I don't want a politician running this world anymore...A businessman is a challenge to me. Because I could definitely do with some, quite a few tips on how to run me home a little more efficiently!"
Thanks for the transcription.
The host of the progamme was incredulous.
Yup Yup. Raw, and to the undeniable point.
You’re welcome. At least they didn’t attack him like interviewers used to do with great regularity.
