John never liked Malcolm. Malcolm always made sure that John never had enough money to leave. John left anyway because he'd rather die in a gutter than suffer another day with Malcolm.
John Lydon's lyrics are more poetic, philosophical, punk rock, and intelligently
angry than any of the artists mentioned in this thread.
So, if you want to point a finger at Sex Pistols and carry on with some insufferable la-di-da groupthink notion they are a big fashion-plate scam who expected people to follow them because they manufactured some sort of brand of cool rebellion, then you're lost. You're like Malcolm. No wonder you fall for the idiot contrivances of image and the bullshit derivative music (disguised as something new) and lyrics (goonish half-wit gibberish) of most of the artists you all mention.
