Ah, that demure chamber quartet, the Sex Pistols...

Steve Jones is still recovering from his heart attack late last year and has also been afflicted with diabetes and Bell's Palsy; he's a tough old dog and actually drove himself tp hospital when he woke up in the middle of the night with severe chest pains; the doctors told him he had a nearly complete arterial blockage and sent him to immediate emergency surgery...

Jonesy has lived in LA since the 80s and has been clean and sober since the 80s and lives a very healthy lifestyle; a bit of a change for a punk icon...

John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, also lives in LA and has since the early 80s, although he and Jonesy aren't really close friends and have spent years without even speaking to each other even though they live in the same city; Lydon has appeared as a guest on Jonesy's radio show and there didn't appear to be any real bad blood between them; Lydon became a US citizen in 2013 and still speaks his mind when asked his opinions on current matters; he is a surprising blend of liberal and conservative viewpoints and remains a true independent; some of his more conservative opinions would probably surprise/shock some of his fns who had him pegged as an anarchist at heart; he's been married to the same wife, Helen, for some 40 years now and is devoted to her; in recent years she was diagnosed with advancing Alzheimer's and Lydon has taken full responsibilities for her care, reusing to have others care for her or put her in some sort of residential care...

An interesting evolution for two men who were once the scourges of polite society...

We're all getting old, vienna. I got moderate hearing loss in both ears - industrial deafness and too many loud live gigs - but it was worth it

Good on Jonesy . Driving himself to the hospital while he's having a heart attack.

Saw Johnny on "Judge Judy" a while back, he conducted himself very decently/respectfully and won his case.

IIRC he married the mother of one the girls from "The Slits" and has proved to be a loving devoted husband.......but did you like the mashup????

This needs the audio cleaned up a bit more, but then again, so did the Dolls.

John is married to the mother of the late Ari Up of The Slits; when Ari passed away from cancer in LA, John and Helen adopted Ari's children and raised them to adulthood; being raised by John Lydon must have been an interesting experience...


I liked the mashup and it was well done; here's a couple you might find interesting...

I saw the Dolls when they made their West Coast debut at the Whisky A-Go-Go on the Sunset Strip in 1973; I'd heard of them and had heard one of their songs once on the radio;; I was up on the Strip when I noticed they were on the marquee at the Whisky, so I got in the queue with the usual assorted lot of hippies, rockers, and tourists waiting for the doors to open; I don't remember who was/were the opening act(s), but when the Dolls came on, it was a sight to see, and I don't mean just the band; the audience was used to the sort of laid back LA Laurel Canyon/Eagles-ish 'rock' and the Dolls were 180 degrees not what they were used to seeing; aside from David Johansen's glam-rock take on Jagger, the get-ups of the rest of the band just stunned the crowd; when they stormed into their first numbers, the sight of Johnny Thunders and Syl Sylvain, all wildly flying hair and Townsend-like windmills generating a wall/wail of sound just floored everybody; some of the 'peaceful easy feeling' types made for the exits, but for those who stayed, it was a memorable performance; when I started working at a nearby rock club, the Dolls were frequent customers...


Speaking of David Johansen (or David Doll, as he was known in 1973), he went on to have a modest career as an actor and a solo singing career under the name of Buster Poindexter...





...if you look closely, you'll see Bill Murray in the video...
