Here is the quote of the year but the great Johnny Rotten, a nab who stil has more integrity in his little finger than most rock stars have in their entire bodies. A couple of years after the Sex Pistols turned down the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame (are they the only ones to have done so?), The band that sang "God save the Queen a fascist regime," had the guts to turn down the London Olympics.
Rotten told the NME: "'They tried to get us involved in the Olympics, and what they wanted to do was, they're going to do this thing where celebrities go around the stadium on the back of flat top lorries. So there will be Naomi Campbell in a Vivienne Westwood dress, followed by Madness doing 'Baggy Trousers', and then the Pistols doing 'Pretty Vacant'. But without the 'vay-cunt', just 'pretty' and the word 'censored'. So the answer is, 'no fucking way.' Don't need it, don't want it.''
I am speechless.
How much integrity can one man have? It really takes miles of bottle to tell the Olympics to shove it.
Makes me proud of them, to be dead honest.
