Johnny Rotten/John Lydon turns 70

Johnny Rotten/John Lydon turns 70

Born in London on 31 January 1956, John Lydon – after the dissolution of the Sex Pistols – founded and directed, among many line-up changes, Public Image Limited, more briefly PiL, whose discography currently consists of 11 albums. While waiting to listen to it live again on May 26th at Alcatraz in Milan, I have chosen a song from each of the albums released so far by the band, and I invite you to listen to them while wishing Johnny a happy birthday.
