McClaren ripped the cover off said book, scribbled out Pop’s name, wrote his own name in its place, made it a best seller, and at the end of the whole sorry mess, a glorified mannequin who was promoted to bass player only after the ‘Pistols only studio album was already recorded becomes the most famous punk rocker in history. Which demonstrates in a backhanded way that whether Lydon appreciates it or not, he is very aware of how important McClaren was to his recording career.īut what’s Lydon bitching about, really? Pop wrote the punk book that nobody read the first go ’round. The ‘Pistol’s lead singer Johnny Lydon (or Rotten if you’re bent that way) talks shit about McClaren from the front to back covers of his 1996 autobiography, No Blacks, Dogs, Irish.
