The sample is taken from: John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) tells what he thinks of Rock 'n' Roll on the "Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder" at NBC on 27th June, 1980.The Dialogue:
Tom: "Why do you dislike rock 'n' roll so much?"
John: "It's dead. It's a disease. It's a plague. It's been going on for too long. It's history. It's vile. It's not achieving anything, it's just regression. They play rock 'n' roll at airports. It's about as like advanced as it can possibly get!"
Tom: "But there was a . . ."
John: "It's too limited."
Tom: "But there was a time when you didn't feel that way!"
John: "It is too much like a structure, a church."
Tom: "Yeah, but there was . . ."
John: "A religion. A farce."
Tom: "A time when you did not feel that way! What made you change your mind?"
John: "No, I've always felt this way."
Tom: "Even when you were with the Sex Pistols?"
John: "I wondered when you'd get round to that one! Yes, even then! Because the Sex Pistols was going to be the absolute end of rock 'n' roll, which I thought it was. Unfortunately, the majority of the public, being the senile animals that they are, got that wrong. Too bad. All's I want is an image - something flash."
