Sunday Special: The Rise and Fall of Johnny Rotten

Posted 30/06/2009 - 21:45 by Chris

John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, has at various times been public enemy number one, a musical genius and a sad self-aggrandising git. Although there is no question that the musical returns have considerably diminished over the years, in his prime Lydon wrote songs that changed the course of popular music and society itself. The Rise and Fall of Johnny Rotten will feature music from The Sex Pistols, Public Image Ltd and beyond along with interviews from across his career. Sunday 5 July, 9.30pm, following comedy.
