The ever punk Johnny Lydon is up and at it. Rejecting the Olympics throwing down smack, reissuing Pistols and creating a brand new Public Image Ltd LP.
Hurray for the old geezer. We here at rocknyc are Rotten fans from way back so its all the more fantastic to see no compromise his behavior despite fame and time. Lydon doesn't behave like he's 20 anymore but he still has the balls to be a real punk.
The new album "This is PiL" is set for release May 28th. When asked about the tracks Johnny said the following
"Well, 12 songs, where do I begin? Everything and anything that attracts my attention. 'One Drop' is about my early youth in Finsbury Park. Fantastic! Hello, we're all teenagers don't you forget it! At any age, stay young. 'Lollipop Opera' is basically a beautiful bunch of background noise and music to sum up Britain and all its wonderful ambidextrousness! 'The Room I Am In' well that's about drugs and council flats. And there's a tragedy that still continues. 'I Must Be Dreaming' Well, you know, I must be to put up with these governments."
