Hi Sid! Nice to see you after your 41 year slumber. How's it going? Find any good smack lately? Watch out for that sneeky Fentanyl in your dope. 🤯

what I love about John. is that he speaks his mind. he tells you the truth he’s. not one of these music artists who loves themselves sitting in their ivory towers not knowing what’s going on in the real world. john is down to Earth.

Probably the best host an art exhibit could ever have. :-)

One of the best music interviewees around. His up front and honest candor is refreshing amongst the often pompous, look-at-me narcissists in that racket.

Do not feckin judge Him after what he have done to the music and society! Happy Birthday John Lydon 31.01.2020 xxx

Always interesting hearing John Lydon's take on ancient history, current events and life itself. Long may he continue being John Lydon.

Good man John. The trurh as always. Respect for the Legend that is John Lydon.

His impression of Mick Jagger near the end cracked me up. Love his humour.

So said Professor Rotten. Looking forward to the next lesson

I've always loved this man. At 10 years old, I learned through their music that I was OK being different

An icon. A legend. A national treasure.

Always loved that image for “Pretty Vacant”. Reminds me of the buses in my hometown...

Thank you John! Love you buddy!

John is always so sharp and funny. Some of his better puns and jokes I only catch in hindsight. Brilliant man with an important voice💓

He's one of those people who never bore me. Like Keith Richards and Frank Zappa,I could spend hours listening to interviews with him and not lose interest. So,when the hell is The Public image is rotten coming to DVD or rent at least?

He always makes me laugh love hearing him talk

Thanks for this !!!

I love this man. He truly is one of a kind. Although I'm younger and came into this world post Sex Pistols in 83 , I have been enamored by this man for most of my life. Reading his book I remember thinking to my younger adult self, although I was raised a generation and a world away in the States, I was able to relate and understand on so many different levels. Time goes by, but the nature of people doesn't change. I would love to meet him one day.

Best tour guide ever.

Unlike most of the typical pompous rock stars, he lives in the real world, sticks up for the working class people and has never forgotten his roots. A true star. Just my opinion. ❤❤❤❤

I love you Jon boy!! You. You nail it all time.

Stay in good shape John. This people love you and Canada loves you.

I grew up with the sex pistols (Basically johnny rotten) since 2016 to 2020 it was like, NOBODY in my generation know who are them.. Exept for me and my ex very best friend.. even my family didnt talk about them.. My teenagehood was extrange.. I apreciate so much this kind of videos

Punk was the best thing that ever happened to music because it was an way of teaching young generations to knowledge real world problems.

The cartoons from the Holiday in the sun cover is not from a kid but from a holiday company advert. They got the cover withdrawn at the time.

Loved John since 1976- I was 10 years old and when/they/he broke systems back, in turn lit the fuse for millions to just say, "Enough's enough" gave the working classes a voice. Cheers for everything John!
