Yeah, and all the photos look like they were having a swell time.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 6:03pmHe was in the Medicine Show video, wasn't he, along with Joe and Paul?
Funnily enough, I remember asking John about that same subject, back when No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs came out, but in a different context.It's so weird how much Lydon harps on about hating the Clash but it seems like he hung out with them plenty.
Which is why the snarky things he's said about Joe since he died come off as especially shitty.Kory wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 7:09pmYeah, and all the photos look like they were having a swell time.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 6:03pmHe was in the Medicine Show video, wasn't he, along with Joe and Paul?
In other words, he loves being a celebrity and hanging out with celebrities and feeling elite.Chairman Ralph wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 7:15pmFunnily enough, I remember asking John about that same subject, back when No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs came out, but in a different context.It's so weird how much Lydon harps on about hating the Clash but it seems like he hung out with them plenty.
I asked if there wasn't a slight disconnect between the guy who 'd worn that I HATE PINK FLOYD T-shirt, and the one I'd seen pictured in Q recently, hanging out with Dave Gilmour. He responded that it was perfectly possible for him to hang out like that, with anybody, even if he didn't like their music. So I assume that would apply to the Clash and its members, too.
i get it - it's the same feeling you all get when i post here and there's nothing wrong with that.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 7:18pmIn other words, he loves being a celebrity and hanging out with celebrities and feeling elite.
It's like hanging out with a third-rate Pauly Shore.Flex wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 7:44pmi get it - it's the same feeling you all get when i post here and there's nothing wrong with that.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 7:18pmIn other words, he loves being a celebrity and hanging out with celebrities and feeling elite.
And then in the early '90s, BAD II and PiL were on the 120 Minutes tour together.Kory wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 7:09pmYeah, and all the photos look like they were having a swell time.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 6:03pmHe was in the Medicine Show video, wasn't he, along with Joe and Paul?
You could save 13 keystrokes and just say “with Pauly Shore.”Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 8:23pmIt's like hanging out with a third-rate Pauly Shore.Flex wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 7:44pmi get it - it's the same feeling you all get when i post here and there's nothing wrong with that.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 7:18pmIn other words, he loves being a celebrity and hanging out with celebrities and feeling elite.
PIL was also on the 120 Minutes Tour with BAD II.

I thought it important to let everyone know that Flex isn't as good as even a second-rate Pauly Shore, but to give him a smidgeon of dignity by allowing that he's better than a fourth-rate Pauly Shore. Maybe I'm too generous with the last, but I'll handle the criticism.Wolter wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 11:19pmYou could save 13 keystrokes and just say “with Pauly Shore.”Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 8:23pmIt's like hanging out with a third-rate Pauly Shore.Flex wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 7:44pmi get it - it's the same feeling you all get when i post here and there's nothing wrong with that.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 7:18pmIn other words, he loves being a celebrity and hanging out with celebrities and feeling elite.
John was always friends with Paul. And he is kind about Mick.
Yeah he's even said some things about missing Joe over the years.Marky Dread wrote: ↑23 Oct 2018, 3:07pmJohn was always friends with Paul. And he is kind about Mick.
It's only Joe he had a problem with. When he mentions the Clash he means Joe and the bands music. And the stuff about Joe however biting it may seem in an interview is not really bitter but just bIanter. I don't think a lot of Americans (not all) ever get this about the English we like giving each other stick and taking the piss. A lot of what seems like baiting is only banter.
I saw an unguarded interview on YouTube a while back with some fans after a gig and he was really quite cutting about Strummer and it seemed sad and unnecessary. I honestly think he is jealous of the way the Clash's legend has risen over the years, maybe not to surpass the Pistols, but to put them on an equal footing.Marky Dread wrote: ↑23 Oct 2018, 3:07pmJohn was always friends with Paul.

I've not seen that interview. But it really doesn't surprise me in the least. It's very tiresome and John is like a caricature of his former self these days.Heston wrote: ↑23 Oct 2018, 6:36pmI saw an unguarded interview on YouTube a while back with some fans after a gig and he was really quite cutting about Strummer and it seemed sad and unnecessary.
