John Joseph Lydon (Johnny Rotten) Quotes

My favourite album by her is The Dreaming, and I think she produced that one herself. That got a lot of criticism - but I loved it. It was overloaded with textures, and tones and all manner of things. It’s a record that I still can play to this day, and still hear new things.
