I guess ole Rotten was much more of an icon than any of us thought.... The refrain is "Johnny Rotten has done an advert for butter..."WOW. Johnny Rotten, your place in pop culture is secure!Now I cherish having seen the Sex Pistols "cheat" me and so many others that January night in San Francisco way back in 1978....

1985. The last (first?) great PIL album. A much healthier looking John Lydon sneering his way through the 80's. Bill Laswell did an amazing job producing the record, which features guest appearances by Steve Vai, Ginger Baker, and Ryuichi Sakamoto. The two main points Lydon keeps repeating in "Rise" - "anger is an energy" and "I could be wrong - I could be right" seem to be an evolved perspecti...

Most people I know have that one song that gets them going every morning....the one song that gets them prepared for their day. For the past two weeks, "public image" by public image limited has been such a song for me...This song is a searing and soaring statement of intent. The gorgeous, chiming minimalism of Jah Wobble's bassline. The pure joy of vibration contained within it. Keith Levene's...

As my trusted MOGs may already know, my adoration for Public Image Ltd. burns with the heat of a thousand suns. I mean, who else would be so disgusted with the image of the 'rock star' that his band would have the name of a faceless entity? And who would care so little for the process of marketing that he would "go toe-to-toe with Tom Snyder":http://www.johnlydon.com/tom80.html in order to an...

Hi kids! Welcome to another edition of Outloud. Let me start off things by saying that I never really liked The Sex Pistols. Sure I appreciate their influence on other bands, the scene and punk rock...

The other day, someone I know – a working actor - asked me if I was on Facebook or MySpace. I said no. When it comes to social networking sites, it’s just MOG for me. He was particularly adamant about a Facebook profile being beneficial to my Hollywood business. “Contacts, man!” he crowed. “It’ll help you get out there.” As if I’m not in-your-face enough.Meanwhile, a young woman friend of mine ...

Sometimes the sky opens/rains fall. Anonymous gray & indifferent, the day unfolds in sloppy slow-motion meltdown. In Rhode Island we celebrate the end of WW II today. Its a state holiday. So I'm sitting here reflecting. (And that is always dangerous. I'm not comfortable being left alone with my thoughts) I do not wish to discuss politics because its so damn polarizing. (Though the polariz...

Sorry, those that were expecting some pure funk for yr Funky Friday. I don't have deep roots on da funk. Oh sure, I could throw up "Atomic Dog" or "You Dropped A Bomb On Me", but I'm not about doing things half-way.So, in the spirit, if not the letter, of the law on Funky Friday, I give you the meaty groove of THE Jah Wobble, and the rest of PiL, dropping "Careering".This gets my small tailfeat...
