JOHNNY ROTTEN RIDES HIS BIKE ON VENICE BEACH
When The Sex Pistols hit the charts in the UK in the 70’s, they were described as “the biggest threat to our youth since Hitler.” Nowadays, Johnny Rotten (John Lydon) is living close to the beach in Venice, California and his is a tamer more mundane life, riding his bicycle around the neighborhood. His longtime wife Nora Forster does the driving in the family. Nora’s punk rocker daughter Arianna passed away last year and now Johnny and his wife are raising her three kids. Yes, Johnny Rotten is going to PTA meetings. He may be more of a homebody than a rebel these days, but he still has that orange hair.
We get awfully tired of seeing the same old celebs trotting up and down the streets of Beverly Hills. Here’s a face you don’t encounter very often and we are thrilled. We think The Sex Pistols’ Johnny Rotten is a true rockstar and we actually had the pleasure or cavorting with him at the opening of the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. He’s still very opinionated. What a delightful surprise to catch him in overalls – possibly on his way to the dentist!
