This popped up on my YouTube feed for some reason.
40 years old but still relevant…….
And a cracking tune to boot!

It’s an amazing song. Had this on 12”. Shame Lydon turned into such a prick.
Indeed, he's become a reactionary, Trump-supporting, Right-wing bore, just like that other former champion of society's 'outsiders' and the marginalised, Morrissey.
Lydon has lived for decades in Santa Monica, California, clearly financially comfortable, yet tries just a little too hard to present himself as the authentic voice of the working-class. I now find him obnoxious and embarrassing.
The song is amazing, though; I bought it when it first came out!

Have you seen the panel discussion he did with Marky Ramone and Duff Mckegan amongst others? It’s weird and just embarrassing especially when he criticizes Marky for being a JCL not knowing he played on Richard Hell and the Voidoids album which predates Lydon.
I bought this when it came out as well. It’s a really powerful song which still sounds fresh today. Agree with your obnoxious and embarrassing comment.

Featured in the first scene of a new Sopranos season post 9/11, I’ve discovered so many good bands through that show.
I think I'd moved from Lydon by the time this came out....1984.....PiL and Metal Box were good . . . this is a bit cartoonish. And turgid compared with this:
As others have said . . . I'm quite shocked at how Lydon has morphed into gammon. He had become a parody of himself by the time he release Rise. The sight of geriatric 'punks' at the Pistols reunion gigs was pitiful and cringeworthy.

He was an amazing Husband and spoke with great empathy and understanding regarding Dementia. Credit for that
I actually remember getting under the school desk and under playground equipment and thinking that would save me from any harm.

He was heartbroken when he lost his wife, Nora.
It may have turned up on your YT feed @Lenny Rider because he was interviewed by the Sunday Times then the Daily Fail reported it on Monday apparently so he’s probably trending (you’ve just added to it!)

This is how I prefer to remember him - one of the greatest debut 'singles' ever!

Jah Wobble and Keith Levene weren’t too shabby on that either!
Bollocks, I saw the thread title and thought we had anarchy in the UK at last
We sort of have since 2019, but not in a good way!
