To Clarify, one has said one thing, one has said another. I don't see why anyone should side with one over the other. If Lydon was racist, surely it would have come out by now... he's been in the public eye for a fuck of a long time. He might be... but it's just tabloid reporting that we have to go on at the moment.
Alleged racial element aside, he can beat up Kele Okereke as much as he likes as far as I'm concerned. Crafting an album like Metal Box affords you priveleges like that in my moral world, and thats just the way it is.
i think it's sad that a man of his age can only make headlines by being suck a massive dickhead. So he had some input into a reasonably good record thirty years ago, who cares? If someone's at best aggresive and troublesome, or at worst an absolute racist then it shouldn't matter who they are.
if you read the article it says that it was his entourage that made these remarks and got involved in a fight, just says Lydon got arsey when he said to reform PiL. Which you can understand really when he's trying to promote another of his reformed bands
not me!
PiL <3
:O
How dare you admire a racist?
is he racist?
i didn't know that.
^
p.s. not racist, just really stupid. Lydon circa 79-81 = gold.
Not me
Shut up
tabloid bollocks. Unless it goes to court and is proven in court, then it's tabloid speculation and name calling.
NB

is there a link to the story?
It's on the Guardian website

hate this tabloid bullshit.
IT HAPPENED!
^101%
The whole thing is an "alleged" incident, therefore no point taking sides.
Certainly not me

I don't so much...
Hate the guy, he just seems like a bitter old man who thinks he's right about everything.
Oh
and the Okereke thing?
Maybe he beat him up over how bad Mercury was?
Anyone who doesn't hate him:
think again -

freudian slip?
Ha!
I should really read my posts before hitting the post button!
:-)
Such, it was meant to say SUCH.
Wow, that's deep
wow
your sarcasm is unparalleled. you really hit the nail on the head with that comment.
I don't
I think he's cool
i'm waiting
till i hear ricky wilson's take of what happened.
yeah but
if you read the article it says that it was his entourage that made these remarks and got involved in a fight, just says Lydon got arsey when he said to reform PiL. Which you can understand really when he's trying to promote another of his reformed bands
he's really, really, really annoying
but he was in PiL
PiL were pretty much a rip-off of Can
and Pere Ubu. Jah Wobble rules though.
Nope
he just loves winding people up doesn't he
John Lydon
'I INVENTED PUNX, LOL!'
Talentless waste of space
oh shush
he may be an idiot but he is talented.
Please explain
I've got far more respect
for someone like Penny Rimbaud myself.
John Lydon, the real estate agent
very 'punk'.
i really like him
can you tell him?
he should reform PiL
I wouldn't tell him that to his face mind.
