Our Trump fanatic really goes off the rails here with a kind of
conspiracy theory à la MAGA about the new Sex Pistols reunion.

Anarchy in the UK/US? You became a shameless,
pointless and bitter hypocrite over the years, mister
Johnny Forgotten. Keep on licking Trump‘s fat arse.
After a 5-year battle with Altzheimer Nora Foster,
the wife of John Lydon passed away at the age of 80.
The news came via P.i.L.‘s Instagram acount.
They were married for 44 years. Professionally she was an actress, model
and music promoter. She had a daughter from another marriage , the late
great Ari-Up (1962-2010), who fronted female punk band The Slits in the 70s.
Lydon “All the things I thought were the ultimate agony seem preposterous now.
It’s shaped me into what I am. I don’t think I’ll ever get over it. I don’t see how I can
live without her. I wouldn’t want to. There’s no point. No joy comes without pain
and, boy, do I know that now ”
Earlier this year Lydon wrote a beautiful love song for Nora called Hawaii.
Along with his band P.i.L. he attempted to represent Ireland (his parents were
Irish) at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest with the song, but they didn’t get
through the qualifications.

JOHN LYDON and PUBLIC IMAGE LTD posted
the following message on their Facebook-page
in the early days of this New Year.
“PiL will be competing to represent Ireland at Eurovision
2023 with their new single Hawaii. A PiL song like no other.”
I first thought it was a premature April Fools’ Day joke. Nope.
P.i.L. was actually chosen to be one of the Irish competitors for
this year’s Eurovision Contest. Ireland? Lydon was born in England
to Irish parents, lives now for more than 35 years in Los Angeles
and has besides the English also the American nationality.
The song he did it with is called HAWAII dedicated to his wife who suffers
from Alzheimer. He told The Irish Examiner: “It is dedicated to everyone going
through tough times on the journey of life, with the person they care for the most.
It’s also a message of hope that ultimately love conquers all.”
Hawaii is a sweet little pop ditty that confirms Lydon‘s well-known lifelong love
for his struggling wife and that’s truly touching and way more human than supporting former President Trump, the proud boy who almost brought America‘s democracy to the ground with his mob two years ago, on 6 January, at the Capitol Hill insurrection.
Yesterday on a special edition of RTE’s The Late Late Show
P.i.L. performed along with five other Irish acts.
But in the end, they didn’t win the competition.

A couple of days ago John Lydon announced that he wants to represent Ireland with his band PIL at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest and shared the song, named Hawaii he wants to do it with. I think he blew his chances now. Full NME feature here.
HAWAII
You ARE a curmudgeon, a terribly right-wing one. From hero to zero, Johnny.
God save the Queen
She ain’t no human being
There is no future
In England’s dreaming
Full NME feature here
Still no new ideas as Johnny Forgotten is too busy to make America and Trump great again.

A new Sex Pistols biopic is coming up, but Lydon feels cheated as he wasn’t invited to star
in it. Weird as he voted for the biggest American cheater ever, his beloved ex-president Donald Trump.
Full feature in NME here 1 year ago.

Johnny Forgotten – the man who supports and voted for the charlatan who
didn’t make America great again – about the new generation coming out of
colleges and universities in an interview with The Sunday Times …
Retire, Johnny, retire.
Here’s what the public image aka Johnny Rotten Forgotten said about Trump two years ago! And now Johnny says, with a big stupid smile on his idiotic American face that he’s gonna vote for that racist buffoon in the White House…
