@shanustheanus Find me a quote from John regarding him being against advertising. Because I have watched, read and listened to countless interviews and I've never even heard him speak about it. Also, I totally respect the fact that he is supporting a British company, given that there aren't many left. He isn't doing advertising work for some huge corporate empire, but is actually advertising a comparatively small franchise.

I like John Lydon, a man that does not take himself seriously. And I love Kate Bush a rare talent.

[steeplepossum39]

I agree with what John has said about Kate and I can see what he sees in her.

there used to be a clip on Youtube of John Lydon accepting a Q magazine award where he typically slags off the award and everybody in the audience but then looks out at Kate Bush sitting in the crowd and suddenly breaks from his cranky persona and says "Kate Bush, I adore you. you're fucking Brilliant". it's really touching to see his dour demeanor crack when it comes to his love of her and her music. it looks like the clip was taken down. I hope someone reposts it.

I remember me and my mum watching Kate Bush for the first time on tv back in 77 doing Wuthering Heights, We were creased up with laughter wondering what the hell is this, A few days later my mum was hooked and went out and bought the single and played it endlessly.

I love john lydon i did'nt know he was a fan of kates like me.

[MrAladinvain]

@arabiansanchez He didn't say that. He said "it's not about rolling in money..." which is not a reference to how rich someone may or may not be.

[arabiansanchez]

John's wrong about 1 thing; Kate very much is rolling in money. She won't struggle, ever.

@DoctorDee69 so  correct ..Billy Idle????

[DoctorDee69]

@MrSHAJW Lydon a "less talented" version of Billy Idol. Hilarious! Idol spent the first part of his career wanting to be Lydon, the latter part a laughable MTV-friendly parody. All of his work combined barely compares with a single track from Never Mind the Bollocks.

[MrSHAJW]

@mrsnarfadoodle Agreed, I've always thought he was an even less talentless version of Billy Idol who hid behind his ''Ooh,nothing is serious'' façade whenever he was challenged....but it appears the guy really can appreciate some quality after all .

As for Kate, I'm still looking for words to describe her,I know the feelings but I can't get them out into print. :-)

@TrueGoth1 Why? he said really nice things about her. It's not easy to get his seal of approval, and he put her on a pedestal. Mind how you go, lad.
