Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten don´t think it´s propper to celebrate the former conservative Brittish Primeminister Maggie Thatchers death, he won´t dance on her grave.
"I was her enemy in her life but I will not be her enemy in her death".
On the pistols one anly propper studio album was the song New York about New York Dolls.
Frontman and singer John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten was probably tired of hearing on the manager
Malcolm MacLarens rant about how well he did manage the New York Dolls in the end of their carer ( he didn´t). So to shut the trap Mr Lydon did write the lyric he did. Much to the other SP members embarrasment. The were huge Johnny Thunders (of the NY Dolls) and NY Dolls fans.
The answer came both as elegant as it was a bit childish.
Johnny Thunders - London Boys
The lyrics shows that Thunders was obvious hurt by Lydons tune. It is a bit
schoolyardish and childish. The sarcasm in Sex Pistols lyrics is way over the top of Johnny Thunders.
On the other hand he used the then ex Pistols members Steve Jones and Paul Cook as musicians on one of the recordings, just to tell, I own you.
Hahaha! It must be ironic that the Britains most hated man in 1976-77, attacked in the streets and denied the right to perform by local authoroties, now are the symbol of the same Britain. Not only was there an offer to play at the 2012 London Olympics. Now the Sex Pistols classic anti establishment anthem is released as a comercial song ever now and them when the Queen of England celebrate something. John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten is not amused, and I understand him.
