The lead singer of the notorious '70s
punk band The Sex Pistols. The name he was born with was John Lydon. The one and only time that they were on the Bill Grundy Show,
Johnny Rotten swore about
8 times in
3 sentences. He was the one who introduced Sid Vicious to hair spray. He did NOT start the safety pin fad. Besides, safety pins are part of
punk, so they weren't a fad. The punks were just so poor, that they used them to hold their clothes together. After the Sex Pistols broke up, Johnny Rotten started Public Image Ltd.
