[kj] OT because there's fuck-all KJ news to talk about: Great names

[ade]

I loved that bit in 'Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs' where they fry-up some turds for annoying
visitors. Genius!

In John Lydon's autobiography (Johnny Rotten folks, friend of Sidney.) he mentions being harrassed by a man at his North London home.  They kept getting phone calls that when answered yielded "HELLO!  VIC VOMIT HERE!  I THINK I COULD BE OF SOME USE TO YOU..."  Poor Victor never did meet Mr Lydon in the flesh.
 
What they dont mention in the moving Joy Divison films is that Bernard Sumner originally called himself Bernard Albrecht, after spending lots of time reading.  Let us not forget Jello Biafra, Ari Up!, and someone I knew who released his own dance lp's in the 90's called John Pratt.  People seriously thought it was an insult rather than his name.  He worked hard to achieve that...
