Hub · 1956

John Lydon

London, UK · Vocals

Johnny Rotten in Sex Pistols; later Public Image Ltd—sneer as method across logos.

Why this hub

Punk detonator → post-punk PiL: same voice, different songwriting economy after 1978.

Born 1956. Fronts Sex Pistols 1975–78. After the breakup forms Public Image Ltd (PiL)—dub space, anti-rock star framing. Person page keeps Pistols and PiL as linked seasons under one vocalist.
