Rotten spoken word
May 30th, 2006 by adminJohn recently attended a charity Spoken Word Event at film-maker Kevin Smith’s house (Clerks, Dogma, etc). In true Rotten style, Mr Lydon read the lyrics to ‘The Body’, ‘Bodies’, ‘Tie Me to the Length of That’ & ‘God Save the Queen’.
You can read all about the event on Kevin’s website.
John was one of Kevin’s highlights…he had this to say..
“John “Johnny Rotten” Lydon launching into what seemed like a blistering, anti-abortion screed (”Bodies”) at a room full of terrified parents, calling one of the audience members out when she uncomfortably chuckled by saying “Is this fucking funny to you?! Are you an animal?”, blaming all of us for electing George Bush and then dismissing petrol-centric politics with “This is what you need oil for,” while rubbing his asshole over his pants and then patting a balding dude in the front row’s head, Benny Hill style, adding “Or this,” and then finishing up with an a capella version of “God Save the Queen” with the audience singing along. Fucking amazing.”
