'wow,' i thought. 'he's pretty cool.'
then i promptly forgot all about him and the sex pistols.
in the middle of 9th grade, i became interested in punk. my dad loaned me ramones and clash tapes, and i even remember studying for a science exam while listening to iggy pop. 'great!' i thought, very excited. then something clicked in my brain: johnny rotten and the sex pistols. i paid no attention to the thought until the beginning of 10th grade, and went out and bought never mind the bollocks... i loved it, and became interested in all things johnny. he's witty, funny, intelligent, and sarcastic, all things i like. and, to be perfectly honest, sid always sort of freaked me out. you know, the whole self-destructive phase, cutting himself onstage, etc. gross. so here it is, johnny rotten, my favorite punk.
