Not really, he’s totally egocentric. Even if johnny’s rants seem to not make much sense or to contradict itself entirely, his aim is always the same, to display a sense of independence, of not being easily manipulated or not being restrained by someone elses boundaries. Being concerned about hiself and nothing else. In a sense johnny rotten is one of the true hobbesian individuals, much like the nuge. Although the nuge is probably less wreckless and more in tune with the world around him.
One thing he may be wrong about is that there may not always be an England. 40 years from now the average Englander will have brown skin and have the first name of Ahmed, or Mohammad or some other dirty muslim name.
Love it! I like the fact that he doesn’t give a shit about what other people think of him. He is who he is, take it or leave it. Punks are always a bit rebellious and that makes for great punk music, like the Clash. I’m not into the punk politics (Green Day, for example) but I like this genre of music.
THE Proto-Punk.
very contradictory fellow aint he?
