Johnny Lydon on TV last night

[Malcolm Buggeridge]

Do you think they needed to tether him down to stop him from blowing away?

Looked like somebody had inserted an air line up his rear end.

PS John, I do think you are over egging the "national treasure" pudding just a little bit too much

Who is Johnny Lydon again? Some steam train enthusiast?

[DodgyAgent]

according to people who have grown up with him he is a nasty piece of work

I hear the opposite actually from the music industry, but I suppose that doesn't mean much.

I remember spotting Peter Hook at various gigs in Manchester in the early eighties, too scared to approach him because of his reputation for twatting people, I loved Joy Division and he'd bonked a few punters on the head with his bass several times when things kicked off....

When I finally did speak to him at a gig mid 90's I think he was the nicest bloke ever! And everything I've read about him since kinda confirms that.

See, in those days you couldn't Google 'Is Peter Hook hard in real life?' so you'd no idea, only heresay...

Late Bolton comic Bob Williamson had a brush with Lydon and the Pistols.......

"His most bizarre brush with fame came when he appeared on a radio show with The Sex Pistols.

When their booking at Manchester’s Midland Hotel was cancelled, Bob invited the punks back to his Bolton home. He woke the next morning with a hangover expecting to find his living room trashed. Instead he found the musicians busily washing dishes, hoovering and tidying up. They event left a box of chocolates as an apology for disturbing his wife."

Hope that was true!
