can read some of John's quotes, regarding his recent visit to Canada
with the Bodog Battle of the Bands, on the ChartAttack
website.
"Judging these
bands isn't easy," notes Lydon with distinct sincerity. "We
were taught the lesson that we're messing with people's lives. You
end up being more careful on their behalf not to ruin their lives
than you would with your own."
"We love these
bands because they write their own songs," grumbles Lydon.
"Anyone who has enough guts to stand up on a stage and perform
original art deserves our respect and approval."
"It's so easy to
cast things off as not being good, but when was the last time you
put your fear aside and did something creative in front of others?
This is a positive thing? these bands are afforded a lot. The only
time I was ever on television in my time was when I was going to
jail."

Rock legend visits Olustee
This year at the Olustee
Reenactment not only did the Yankees show up but the British made
an appearance as well. John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, lead singer
of the punk rock group the sex pistols and Public Image LTD., attended
the Olustee festival this year. Mr. Lydon was here in Baker County
to document and film the festivities and battle reenactment.
Rotten Productions,
Mr. Lydon’s production company, attended the reenactment as
part of a six series production that Mr. Lydon is filming of events
around the United States.
Mr. Lydon found out
about the battle reenactment from Nelson W. Winbush, who is a life
member of the Sons of the Confederate Veterans. Mr. Winbush, a resident
of Kissimmee Fl., was contacted by Rotten Productions about a segment
of the series concerning alligators. During the conversations, Mr.
Winbush suggested that Mr. Lydon come to Olustee and view the reenactment.
After the reenactment
performance, Mr. Lydon said that "he was very impressed with
the events of the reenactment, but was most impressed with how friendly
Southerners are and the solidarity and pride in their heritage that
they exhibit."
Mr. Lydon’s next
stop was Kissimmee, Florida on Sunday to film a segment on saving
the Florida alligators.

 John
will be appearing in the new 3 part series 'Meaning of
Life' on BBC1. The first episode airs
Sunday, January 14th at 10.15pm.
"I
don't think anyone is religious. I don't deep down inside believe
it. I think they're desperate and lonely and clinging to some
vague hope that there's some meaning to all of this. There is,
but it's 'get out the bloody house'."
Update:
More information about the series, including quotes from John
can be found in this article in The
Independent.

| Viewers
in America should look out for John giving it some rabbit
with Bronx Bunny and Teddy T in the new US version
of 'The Bronx Bunny Show'. The series should air
on the Starz Movie Network sometime in the near future. |
