I think it's quite funny.
Obviously a ghastly corporate sell out blah blah etc etc etc, but at least it's for butter and not a fucking vile 4x4 car or something.
Sad really that this kind of thing is now so normal but there you go. I guess he needs the cash and he's certainly done more good stuff in the past than most, so good luck to him.

John Lydon has never been an anarchist, nor anarchistic, nor has he ever understood the idea.if an 'anarchistic' person does something out of their norm they have been anarchistic? no

Dont walk away in silence
Yeah they are a figment of his imagination - just like that fucking awful radio show he did where he had a brass band and bob monkhouse in his head and no one else could hear. 'I think I've got a problem' fucking right you have you twat.
Sorry about that, it's just Radio 7 have rather overplayed that one and it does my head in, as you can probably tell.
that was Suggs
fuck - were there only about 4 or five episodes or did Radio 4 or 2 (whoever broadcast it first) cut it short because they though it was shit? - I thought it was alright at the time (- seemed to be going off into an dark direction at one point with the only people who could also see them being the insane old men and woman who died before he could proove his imaginary friends were real) apart from Bob Monkhouse and him as a psyciatrist only talking in rhyme, and the imaginary friends singing about jugaling a po wile discovering the remains of an oap's comode, and the fact that the whole plot suddenly got rapped up at the end of an episode and it completly duisapeared never to be menmtioned again, until today

He wrote the line when he was around 19. I'd imagine he's a bright enough chap to know what it means now.

Certainly, I wouldn't say Lydon has "sold out" or anything like that, the idea just doesn't apply to him. It seems entirely in character. It doesn't stop him from being a twat though.

That was the perfect end to a seminal band.
Can't see why anyone would feel cheated that he's done an advert 30 years later though.

My point was really that JL gave fair notice to anyone who had any hopes of him not 'selling out'.
It's a classic conundrum intit. Group of young idealists start angry young band, make loads of cash, what you gonna do? I don't think Lydon ever pretended to such lofty ideals.

Not judging from the way he talked about "anarchy" while on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.
My relationship with Mr Rotten has always been a mixed one. (Not that he knows, iyswim). I still value the Pistols as one of the great rock n roll moments. Without a doubt. And the work with PIL was exactly the right way to go after that frantic explosion.
However, I've always considered him personally to be a twat, from the early days right up to now. Often a very entertaining one, and it's always worth a laugh seeing what he's got to say for himself. But I'd hate to live with him. Jesus. A medal for anyone who manages that.
Often twats make the best frontmen. I'm not taking that away from him. It's part of the rock n roll antisyzygy; we want our rock starts to be outrageous characters, but also ordinary people.

I'm positively delighted to be able to say that my acquaintance with that show was just about non existent.
Most punks at the time had no idea what anarchy/anarchism was either, to be honest.

Oh but look at him.
Malcolm McClaren must be pissing himself laughing. Literally by now, I'm sure.
I'll agree that PiL were a great band, when they could be bothered.
But all the spirit of everything he ever claimed to be is rapidly being flushed down the toilet with added jasmine infusion and I'm sure it'll be adverts for Range Rovers next.
The fucking imbecile. He should have died like Sid, perhaps instead of...

Innocuous: "Not injurious to physical or mental health."
Have you hurt yourself after watching the ad then?
Excellent word (now goes to look it up)
Marlon Brando would have been the best choice for a butter advert, if he was still alive.
