God Save The Sex Pistols

The Sex Pistols reunited for a show in LA on Thursday. What fun! Johnny Rotten has been saying for years that it was they, and not the Ramones who invented Punk rock. Everyone knows the Ramones started it all. But to be fair, it was the Sex Pistols who put the punk in Punk rock!
A while back Mr. Rotten hosted a short lived TV show on VH1. It was hilarious! I saw it only once. He was at a resort or convention where there were lots of celebrities. His gimmick was to coax them into making fools of themselves.
The actor James Woods kindly obliged. He was obviously drunk, and didn't catch on that John was utterly humiliating him. He would make truly arrogant statements, and John would turn to the camera and give that funny cross eyed look of his. It was terribly funny stuff!
I always suspected that it was a furiously pissed off James Woods who got the show cancelled.
Neil Young wrote, "this is the ballad of Johnny Rotten, the king is dead but not forgotten."
Well he is neither dead nor forgotten.
