Talking a lot of sense as usual. Complete waste of time having a parliamentary enquiry on banking...should be judge led without a doubt and they proved it yesterday with their abject failure & behaviour in quizzing Bob Diamond.
John Lydon complaining that bankers thought 'they were above the law'. That's right John, you've no time for anarchy have you, always been firmly in the law & order camp...
50% of what he said was spot on, 50% utter drivel. Makes him 50% better than some politicians I guess but overall he just talked over people and looked like he was off his head at times.

The minority panellists have to talk over people to get a look in with Dimbleby as Chairman.
Mensch is absolutely gorgeous, don't care much for what she was going on about though. Lydon was brilliant entertainment. Half of what he said went completely over the head of the panel and audience, guy was bloody hilarious.
Jonny is a great guy and great company he is as nutty as a box of frogs had a few great nights with him in attendance but then the whole family is a bit mad I should know I married one

He's got a really bad reputation of treating people very badly. I was always disappointed by that.
Thought Lydon was a bit embarassing to be honest, repeated "Listen, I know nothing, right" too many times. I expect the politicians to talk over each other, and my heroes to maintain a little decorum and to rise above the rest. Got so fed up I had to switch off half way through.

If that's the case, I'd have a good bet they were from the media.

Johnny ROTTEN - Decorum? Now there's a contradiction in terms!
NLA, How are you related...? Agree with your summary. I've heard good things from people who've met him... Met him once myself, and he seemed charming, in his own inimitable way.
Sorry folks if I am in a minority of one here so be it. The reason his comments went over the heads of the audience and the panel is that he talks 90% bollocks. The guy is a complete phony always has been. The Sex Pistols were Malcolm McClaren's brainchild, all of it persona, music everything. Never Mind the Bollocks was a great album I won't argue about that.
So he has affected this B- Movie pyscho stare but we all know he's not half as tasty as he would like us to think and all the artists he slagged off such as Led Zeppelin and The Who have gone on to achieve iconic status their influence there for all the hear and what has Lydon done? Appeared on "I'm a celebrity" where he made a dick of himself and advertises Anchor Butter......rock and roll eh John? Like I said a phoney.
so Headguard on and gumshield in and await the furore

To be fair to Lydon, 'Metal Box' by PIL is a fantastic record as well and McLaren was nothing to do with it

Its only music Dave, nothing more nothing less, most acts are 'phoney' hence the word 'acts', I know of a world famous guitar player in a flower and rifle band who turns up on stage with a bottle of Jack Daniels and smoking a fag, off stage he doesn't drink and smoke. Lydon called for anarchy when he was 19, the only reason Anarchy in the UK was called this was because when we was scribbling some lyrics anarchist was the only word he could come up with that rhymed with anti-christ. I am still surprised that Joe Public trot out the 'sell out' phrase, because someone has a few hit records in a rock n roll band and are then given the opportunity to make easy money advertising. Its an act, thats all, its a bit like assuming Eastenders is a documentary.
Yep agree 100% North London by the way I can't stand Pete Townshend either because he's a pretentious tit head would be author
Bollox....one of the nicest guys in the Rock business who put's a great deal of money and time back into it. An extroverted and complex character for sure but a very deep thinker too.....and nobodys fool. How little you know OneLung.
Don't get me wrong Greenie I realise it's only music and it is an act the bloke just irritates the hell out of me. Purely personal and I am not saying I am right.
As for Pete Townshend I did call him a tit head SoundsAs but I also think he is the most underrrated and brilliant guitarists EVER i would love to be able to play like that

In classic Rock n' Roll 'Superstar' fashion he has acted like a tit head at times (and how!)......he was for many a year heavily into all sorts of 'powders and lotions of exotic proportions' and no doubt would rub people up the wrong way from time to time. He is however, underneath it all, a really nice sentimental fella and is very loyal to his true friends and aquantances, most of whom go back many a year.......... to happier times it must be said.

I'm one The Who's biggest fans but he can be a bit of a tit at times. Incidently, I saw a band called Who's who at the beaverwood in Chislehurst last night. Great band but the drummer completely stole the show. Had all the mannerisms and drumming style (beat perfect too) of Keith Moon, even looked and sounded a fair bit like him.

Ed Davey is my local MP (not in Prague of course) I like him a lot. I dont like Louise Mensch. This is going to be fun.
I'm trying to get my mind around watching the Sex Pistols by accident on that Granada late night show in 1976, and thinking wtf is this...and now...
He is a LibLabCon sycophant.
(yes I would)
Hell yes................
Married to the manager of Metalica, Red Hot Chilli Peppers etc.

I have met him a few times and he has always one across as a genuinely nice fella

Might have been his creation, but the brainchild for the persona, music everything.. NOT

I don't think Johnny Rotton ever supported banking anarchy either
