The Biggest Misconception People Have About Me

Walk With Electro-glide Down The Blue Highway.

I'm Not Trying To Hide From My Past. I Want To Roll In It. Like A Dog, Rolling In Feces, I'm Rolling In The Feces Of My Greatest Hits - That's A Bit Of A Wild Way Of Looking At It, But I Am A Man, And We Do Like Rolling In Our Own Feces At Times.

When I Started Out, Everyone Seemed To Be Adopting These Names... Johnny Rotten, Sid Vicious. I Wasn't Really Rotten Or Vicious Or Nasty, So I Wanted Something A Bit More Funny - Yet Something That Seemed Real Rock 'n' Roll... Something That Acknowledged My Ambition.

I Am Hopelessly Divided Between The Dark And The Good, The Rebel And The Saint, The Sex Maniac And The Monk, The Poet And The Priest, The Demagogue And The Populist. Pen To Paper, I Put It All Down - I'm Out On A Limb Here, So Watch My Back.

They Wouldn't Play My Records On American Radio Because I Had Spiky Hair. They Said, 'punk Rock Doesn't Sell Advertising, It Won't Make Any Money.'
