Unexpected comment in view of your avatar

It was tongue in cheek.
According to Lydon he did nothing, but those who have an interest in the period know different.

RIP Malcolm

All right, so he had a bit of help from Puccini on this one, but it's still one of the most beautiful pop songs ever. (Warning: I guess some really strict bosses might consider this NSFW, although it's actually not much more than PG-rated):

He only did it for the fame..............

But for 18 glorious months from late '76 to to early '78 his inspiration and ideas injected some much needed excitement into pop music.

Inspired a new era of music that was very exciting at the time.

Also cocked a snook at the establishment big time.

RIP

Gigs on boats on the Thames being raided by the old bill.

Signing a record contract outside Buckingham Palace

Effing and blinding on day time TV.

Anti monarchy single getting to number 1 the week of the Queens silver jubilee.

God how we could do with this now, to blow away the pathetic X-Factor/boyband dross, and wipe that smug smile off of Cowells face.
