Poor Johnny, probably wishes he had written at least one tune good enough to use for selling Cadillacs to ageing gits.

Sheesh. You hear The Stooges on American Express commercials and Zeppelin for Cadillac. And these people are concerned that Lydon's participation in self-indulgent reality programming is controversial???

But, I must say, the use of The Who's "Happy Jack" for Hummer is pure genius.

Amazing. The Sex Pistols "ride" lasted maybe 18 months..........And over a quarter century later, Johnny Rotten is still making a decent living off of it!

He deserves the money. The "Never mind the Bollocks" was IMO one of the ten most important albums in the history of rock `n roll.

I hope Johnny has a good time with the show, and I wish him sucess.

Johnny was one of the few that was willing to say on TV that Kurt Cobain was an idiot right after Kurt blew his brains out. PC, this guy is not.
