(John Lydon was a key figure in the punk movement. Also known as Johnny Rotten of the incomparable Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd in a later time, he was a staple of my teen years in that he (and the band) were an influence on almost everything at that time in musical history.

I didn’t really appreciate his influence until later in the day, but looking back – he was a genius in some ways and rocked the music world boat in an enormous way that continues to this day.)
