It will be lovely for your little lad and step daughter to read, in years to come, that you consider their mother "Retarded". Madonna is perhaps a ropey actress, and needs to show a little less 51 year old vulva but compare her career with yours....One average mockney sub everything caper followed by the same film plus Brad Pitt followed by even worse dross...Madonna on the other hand, several really rather good pop tunes over 25 year period.

A lot of bands from my teenage years have decided to come back for the grey dollar...Pixies, MaryChain, MBV, dinasour JR et al. It's understandable in a way, as their music didn't reach a wide audience the first time around. On the other hand it must be frustrating when the balding fans of yesteryear only want to hear the "classics" , giving little attention to any new material. It'all about the pension plan im afraid...if John and George were still with us you know that by now we would be up to our balls in "sergeant Pepper" tours and such like.

Well Noel is just sticking up for his mate, which is fair enough...i have to feel a bit sorry for old manuel though as he is pushing 80 and clearly doesn't need all this crap, the Daily Mail is the scummiest paper out there, they seem to take delight in harrassing mr Brand or anyone who appears to threaten their blue rinsed status quo while supporting crooked politicians and being further rightwing than the BNP

The church of scientology is only as freaky as christianity or islam...a load of made up bollocks to brain wash people and make money...i think its wrong to single one religion out, there all a waste of time

awwwwww shit! i was kinda hoping that they were going to split up again......their last single , the one about shoes from china, you know the one...sounded rather like a simple minds b- side from 1985 ( i would imagine) ...possibly involving paracetemol and cola, not E and coke

Sex Pistols' John Lydon to become face of British butter

PiL man set to appear in Country Life advert

Wed 17 Sep, 2008

Comments (2)

I have lost ALL respect for john Lydon now....my admiration for him has fizzled away over the years as his talent appeared to dwindle to nothing.....i thought he stood for something, its not even the "butter" thing its more the erosion of his ideals, that we should treat each other with respect, and ALWAYS tell the truth....his recent behaviour shows us a man who allegedly now attacks women, balls out poor duffy, leaving her in tears at the Mojo awards, and has a team around him who berate Kele from bloc party simply for being a black man with a "black attitude" he, like Morrisey ( the other let down) talk to US about England while sunning themselves in the USA or Rome etc! listen stephen and John, the reasons why you now hate England are the same reasons that WE love it....multicultural, independant, diverse sexualities, equality, hatred of rascism.....the Sex pistols and PIL cds will be sold, along with the Smiths down at the boot sale on sunday xxx
