Heeerrreee's Jooohhhnnnyyy! Rotten...or Lydon. Which ever you prefer. The first thing that comes to mind when you think "Johnny Rotten" is usually Sex Pistols, right? Well he was in PiL (Public Image Limited) for over 20 years, (and recently refromed and released a new record) The Sex Pistols? 3 years tops. Crazy, huh? 

John Lydon today. Still got

those crazy eyes.

When I play a PiL record in my car, 9 times out of 10, my passenger says "Really? That's Johnny Rotten from the Sex Pistols?!" To me, his voice is unmistakeable..but maybe that's just me. 

Well this is one of my favorites from PiL. The track was used in several movie soundtracks. Enjoy.

PiL (Public Image Limited) Circa 1980's
