Switching gears here with some John Lydon and Public Image. The dude is no Elvis Costello wanker! See, "John Lydon Set to Take Public Image Ltd to Israel":
Never one to shirk from controversy, former Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon is set court an outcry as he prepares to take the reformed Public Image Ltd. for a gig in Tel Aviv in Israel. As previously reported in Spinner, artists including Elvis Costello, Pixies and Gil Scott-Heron have boycotted Israel in protest over the country's policy towards Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, but Lydon feels that he can do more by way of protest by actually being in Israel.
Speaking with BBC 6 Music, Lydon said, "Of course, there are all sorts of terrible politics going on down there but there is just about all over the world. You cannot separate yourself from your audience because of the political powers-that-be.
Hello, hello, hello (ha, ha, ha)I've seen John Lydon in concert twice. He plays some Sex Pistols tunes during the set, and perhaps he'll do "Anarchy in Tel Aviv." Although, I don't think folks should take that too seriously. The guy's corporate at this point!
You never listen to a word that I said
You only seen me
For the clothes that I wear
Or did the interest go so much deeper
It must have been
The colour of my hair
The Public Image
What you wanted was never made clear
Behind the image was ignorance and fear
You hide behind this public machine
Still follow same old scheme
Public Image
Two sides to every story
Somebody had to stop me
I'm not the same as when I began
I will not be treated as property
Public Image
Two sides to every story
Somebody had to stop me
I'm not the same as when I began
It's not a game of monopoly
Public image
Public image
You got what you wanted
The public image belongs to me
It's my entrance
My own creation
My grand finale
My goodbye
Public image
Goodbye
