He's got a fair amount of money in a bricks & mortar hasn't he? I think he's just trying to convince
everyone he's still 'Jonny from the block'. BUT... I don't think the money has changed him THAT much.
He's got an ego, but that's from having been idolised I expect & seems to fight it, self-consciously. I think
Wobble & Levene's heads are bigger!
Regards PiL, I think he's in a similar position to other monsters such as Kraftwerk & KJ, in that how the
fuck does he follow something like Metal Box? Especially as PiL have been so influential. Keep changing
I guess, which explains PiL after Metal Box.
I bet you'd bum him, if you had half a chance. Like a rat up a drainpipe...

the older lydon gets,the more i dislike him. i dont care what anyone thinks lydon always makes out he's been shafted out of a few quid,but at the end of the day he's still not shy of a few green queens. apart from a couple of tracks with mcgeoch mid eighties john lydon has done fuck all worthwhile since metalbox.
to quote a band - ' john lydon once said he cared,now he don't even give a fuck' - circa rp 83.
