[kj] (OT) The Swindle Is Complete: John Lydon in "JCS"

[Rheinhold Squeegee]

The irony is that Herod has only a single showcase song and about ten minutes of stage time total. Lydon probably shows up, does his bit and then jets off to wherever next.

Seeing Lydon sing this dated ragtime throwaway could be a bit....unsettling:

I mean -- fair enough, it's his life, and he can do what he wants (and does), but it seems like a bit of a letdown that the man who once struck horror into the very fiber of society as we knew it is now treading the boards under the sickly banner of Andrew Lloyd Fucking Webber. That, to me, seems pretty indefensible, but fuck do I know?
