No, the butter money paid for keeping PIL running, currently on a full tour.
Is he?
Quite. He changed the whole world concerning his presentation of butter. Inspired a whole new generation of dairy produce lovers.
What from turning people on to real butter from margarines............yeah I suppose you're right.

or just find him a boring old git who had his time in 76/77 and should accept that he's not that shocking or groundbreaking guy from back then

If you want to judge him on a 30 second advert against a music career spanning 40+ years then i guess you have a point.
Maybe the butter ad was more memorable.

14th Jan 1978, And it was "Ever get the feeling you been cheated" and was referring to the band with the management and not the audience.

The twonk's biggest claim to fame, in my book, is being mentioned in a song by a proper musician. Talentless bum in the right place at the right time IMO.

The Pistols were great, but their time was short. PIL have been interesting throughout the years that have followed, producing some brilliant music alongside some...shall we say...not so brilliant.
John Lydon is a natural performer, and PIL are usually brilliant live.
The arrogance of those who dismiss him as 'talentless', and speak of 'proper' musicians is breath-taking. OK, so you didn't 'get' it. I don't 'get' loads of supposedly brilliant bands, but I wouldn't feel that those who do deserve the wisdom of my negative opinion.

Sorry, didn't realise that this was a praise only thread. If suggesting that I thought he was talentless is arrogant, so be it.

The arrogance lies in believing that you can decide who is a 'proper musician'.
