That was then and this is now, obviously. But, still brilliant. If it ran for about twenty minutes it could be considered a "motorik-drone" masterpiece, of which Faust or Neu, or even Stereolab, (were the vocalese in feminine Euro-tingles), could be reasonably proud.
"the public image belongs to me, its my entrance to my own creation my grand finale my good bye" dunno about anyone else but these lyrics are powerful to me
Lydon as a frontman and singer is up there with mercury and plant. Personally I think he is better. More iconic than either of them. If true art comes from angst and integrity he is the truest.
