I understand class in the UK tends to be considered far more immutable, but has Lydon actually worked a day job at any point in the last 44 years or so?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 Nov 2020, 4:40pmHe's replicating that nonsensical argument about W. being the kind of guy you'd like to have a beer with.

From what I've read he and Sid worked in some place washing dishes. And John did some work on building sites with his dad but he was puny and weedy. He had some work hunting rats at one point. Probably the building site. He had a job as a singer in band called the Sex Pistols but he couldn't really sing.Wolter wrote: ↑05 Nov 2020, 4:52pmI understand class in the UK tends to be considered far more immutable, but has Lydon actually worked a day job at any point in the last 44 years or so?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 Nov 2020, 4:40pmHe's replicating that nonsensical argument about W. being the kind of guy you'd like to have a beer with.

Re: Public Image Limited
I think there is some wiggle room in between what you do to make your money and your worldview. That is, if you grew up working class (or middle class or etc etc) you can retain that perspective for the rest of your life, even if your material circumstances change. But if you want to convince somebody of what's going on in your head, you need to demonstrate it with your behaviours and expressions. Has Lydon showed a working-class perspective in behaviour and politics in, like, the last forty years? I dunno one way or the other, but I'm skeptical.Marky Dread wrote: ↑05 Nov 2020, 5:07pmFrom what I've read he and Sid worked in some place washing dishes.

Re: Public Image Limited
Like I said I'm working class and will remain so for the rest of my life.
Lydon is proud of his working class roots but that's not enough. It's got nothing to do with the money he's made either.
To be working class is a state of mind to care about others hardships respect your surroundings and help out where you can.
John ticks most of those boxes but he is no longer in his own back yard. Yes California is his home and has been for quite some time but he ain't fooling nobody by backing trash like Trump. Those people in Mexico who Trump wants to keep out are working class. If John really cares about those people he would never back a racist like Trump.
It turns my stomach way more than Morrissey as he was always a very odd fish.
But John got his wealth by being working class and the kid who showed that some of us could make it.
Yes many people who are working class in the US will vote for Trump but they are simply being conned in the same way the working class here in the 70s/80s were conned by Thatcher. Trump cares fuck all about those people but they make up a big number and he needs those votes.

Re: Public Image Limited
Well said, Marky, all around.
One of the things that I can't figure out about Lydon is that Trump and his crowd would despise Lydon's biracial grandchildren. Shithole countries and all that. I get that so much of supporting Trump involves ignoring all the stuff that demonstrates his contempt for you, but, fucking hell, that stuff is just out there in the open.

Trump is an abuser of power a racist and everything I've come to despise in a person.

Re: Public Image Limited
Same thing with Noel Gallagher. Made some very passively aggressive racist comments about how much working class culture and music has become "degraded" in britain. Considering the popularity of rap and grime I don't think that's a terribly hard one to figure out. And yes a ton of Union Laborers voted for Trump which is mind boggling. Honestly even the democrats have sold out the labor unions. It's a fucking disgrace. Baby boomers who constantly rag on these organizations are dumb and delusional beyond belief. They cream their pants over the "Pax Americana" of the 1950s. Yet unbeknownst to them, 60% of America's workforce belonged to a labor union of somesort and the income tax was as high as 50% for some demographics. Not exactly a capitalist utopia. Conservatives shake their heads over falling marriage rates and such. I got news for you. Less to do with the supposed "degeneracy" of America, and more to do with the fact that a man can't support a simple family of four by himself. Labor unions, wealth redistribution etc actually strengthen families by not constantly raping them of their financial resources. I don't despise people who are wealthy. That's great for you if you have 20 million in the bank. Whom I despise is the ultra wealthy. There is simply no reason why a person should be a billionaire. That much concentration of wealth undermines democracy and a fair and free market. You shift from capitalism to more of a fucking oligarchal hellhole with dickheads like Jeff Bezos influencing global and domestic politics.Marky Dread wrote: ↑05 Nov 2020, 6:55pmLike I said I'm working class and will remain so for the rest of my life.
