Well, for a start, Lydon would never agree with your characterization  
of his role in the `Pistols. I don't believe there WAS a particular  
audience in any particularly great numbers the band was designed to  
'cater' to.

To Lydon's credit, most other musicians by and large ARE worthy of  
contempt, as far as I'm concerned. Then again, half of my musical  
heroes are artists Lydon would probably spit at.
