Lydon's replacement? I thought Ronnie Biggs was just a train robber who Malcom wanted to be involved with "The Great Rock N' Roll Swindle" just for the publicity; I never heard anything about him replacing Lydon as the lead singer. Where'd you hear that?

And correct me if I'm wrong, but Lydon was aware of the band wanting to go to Brazil to make the movie right before the band broke up and thought it was a bad idea; he was still trying to sort things out when he came back to the hotel and found out they had already left.
