Johnny B. Rotten

I’ve never had a problem calling the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame a joke, and now it seems I’m in some pretty good company. Johnny Rotten (aka John Lydon, but he’ll always be Rotten to me) of The Sex Pistols has just given a big “Fuck you” to the Hall of Fame.

“They never cared who we were,” Lydon said. “They never bothered to correct the incredible fatal, bad mistakes about our legend and legacy in their museum and up until now, they’ve rejected our nomination for three years running, and now they want a piece of us.

“Well, guess what? Kiss this!” he said, making a rude gesture.

“When I began as a Sex Pistol, there was no Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and suddenly this organization is put on top of us like we have an obligation to them. Well, it’s the other way around. Don’t use my name to prop up your … nonsense.”

Go Johnny, go, go!
