This is not a tosser

I’ve just heard ‘This is not a love song’ by PiL on the radio. In 1993 John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten from his Sex Pistols days) and PiL were accused of leaving their punk roots behind and embracing a more commercial sound. That year, they released ‘This is not a love song’, which was interpreted by many as an answer to those who accused the band of selling out. The song reached number 5 in the UK singles chart and in an ironic twist, was their biggest commercial hit. So, in the spirit of ‘This is Not a love song’, we will Not be mocking John Lydon even though these days, he does reality shows and cable tv ads. We will Not be mocking him because we think the man manipulates like a whip in the hands of Indiana Jones. Although our natural instinct is to mock, this man must be applauded because he is is a creative genius. Mr.Lydon, you have our respect. Bill Y
