I think Lydon has the right to make TV shows about spiders just as much as Julian has the right to write big heavy tomes about stones. I don't see what the problem is personally.


There's not a problem Keith. We just see music in different ways, that's all.

The older I got the more I find that life's too short and there is too much music out there for me to be granting head space to the half-hearted.

I want to hear from the artists for whom it is calling not from the people who think it's a bit of a giggle. I've literally no time left for irony and nudge-nudge wink-wink rock n roll.

Lydon can do what he likes but he forfeits whatever artistry he ever had with this tedious ironic pose. He's stuck in a cartoon of his own drawing. He's Ross Kemp in a punk rock comedy wig.

Cope would never make a record while winking at the gallery. He's a true believer.

I want to hear from zealots not ironists. Spare us from Popular Entertainers!
