These past weeks I've been readin a book (No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs) written by Sex Pistols' vocalist John Lydon alias Johnny Rotten. It has take me much time 'cause I have a lot of school work but these last two days I've read it as much as I had spare time (expect my boxin exercises) ... It's my second time I'm readin this book but at first time I was too stupid and young enough for not gettin it. Now I'm readin it again and it has totally won over me.
John Lydon .. he is the best of them all. He says all the things how he wants without any doubts ... he doesn't keep things in secrecy.. no, he tells everythin straight and clear and I love it. I love his philosophy... that sarcastic.. that hate against the community and the rebellion against the traditions. I have agreed with him in every part (expect when he said that he wasn't a good singer). He was always so different.. somethin that we call individual... but he really was one. Compared to what we call individuals these days.
Lydon is a irritatin person... some people love it and the others hate it. I love it. He has never lied and never will.
You should see a video which has an interview of him!! LOL he is adorable!!
He and his friends started the punk movement though many "I-am-wise people" say that punk movement started before the Sex Pistols and that Sex Pistols stole their style from other bands.
I say it's bullshit. In the 70s if someone wore torn jeans and shirts that were hold together with many safety pins and safety pins hungin from his ears, people would say he was crazy and dangerous. Still Lydon created his own style dressing up like that... He dressed up like he wanted. He wanted to irritate people.. and he was succeeded!! And he was the first one... When they got a bit famous and people started immitating and so on... like spitting!
You have heard that in punk concerts people spit on the stage... But do you know why? Why it started? Well, Johnny started it. By accident of course. He didn't want it to happen but people immatated him.. everything he did.
See it started because Johnny has a problem with his maxillary sinus. So every now and then he had to spit. He didn't spit towards the crowd but at the corner of the stage. The fans didn't get it so they started spitting. Spitting on the stage... So the spittin in punk concerts started like that. Fun, huh?
Anyway. I just love him. He is a person who says what he thinks. He doesn't care if people don't like him. He is just who he is. It's hard to explain... You just have to read the book to understand it... Well you can listen to Pistols' songs cause they can truly mean what they say. A band which created chaos. Their songs are full of anarchy, chaos, riots. E.g. the song called "Vacant pretty" and "God save they queen" can really define them all. They wanted people to get that they are livin in a nation that was controlled by others and some people got it some people were just to blind and egoistic and stupid and...
That is one of the many many reasons why I love the Sex Pistols.. They are just so different!!
