John Lydon sets the record straight - with Arun Rath for NPR Music
John Lydon, a.k.a. Johnny Rotten, is a name that conjures images of a scrawny punk thrashing around the stage with The Sex Pistols, giving confrontational interviews with MTV VJs, or just generally raising hell. Maybe you think of his innovative post-punk band Public Image Ltd. Or, maybe his stints on reality shows and nature documentaries.
In any case, Lydon thought it was time to set the record straight with his memoir, Anger Is An Energy.
