Lydon may possibly be a tiresome old asshole, but his being racist would surprise (and disappoint) me.

Isn’t that the sole basis for his miserable career? I am still perplexed by how many educated music listeners think he is/was a viable source for credible music. PiL is crap. The Sex Pistols were fucking horrible.

Why do we feel the need to appease this bloated old fool who can’t even take a shit with out getting publicity for it? This whole story sounds like a Lydon creation.

I bet if he did take a shit and someone took a picture of it, it would still be more entertaining to me than the whole Metal Box LP.

Lydon should be happy to know that “Rise” is pumped through the sound system at The Gap everyday.
