John Lydon is surely a silly old Tory twat. Y'all shoulda noticed that back in '77. And now he's apparently the caregiver for his wife who is very ill. That must suck. Lydon is fortunate he is able to do this for her without worrying about money the way most folks would. None of it excuses him being a conservative dope. But Lu Edmonds, who played on and had writing credits for PiL's Happy? album but was unable to play on 9 due to tinnitus, said that Lydon made sure Edmonds received his writing credit and got the royalties for his work on that second album at a time when he was in a bad place physically and mentally. Lydon clearly could have screwed Edmonds over and kept that money for himself, but he didn't. Is Johnny Rotten a foolish reactionary cunt in 2020? Surely. Is Steven Morrissey? Roger Daltrey? You should know the answer. And you should not be surprised.
For what it's worth, Lu Edmonds has been the guitar player+ in the PiL lineup since 2012, playing on the two albums from the band in this period.
