All this talk of 'the godfather of punk' crap I've heard over the past couple of days is seriously nauseating.

He didn't do anything. His 'legacy' in punk has been far too overstated, mostly by himself. Just because he's dead doesn't mean I have to buy it as truth.

Don't get me wrong he could cause a good publicity stunt and get people talking about it. But that's about as far as what he could do with them. The actual music itself he had nothing to do with. And if he did try and get involved with it Lydon would either tell him to fuck off or do it in a way to piss McLaren off. That's the small detail people seem to forget when they call the Sex Pistols McLaren's boyband.

The music industry needs people like him to make it interesting. That doesn't mean I have to like him.
