I'd just heard today that John Lydon will be presenting a series of documentaries on The Discovery Channel about insects. Apparently he has an affinity for them. Should be rather interesting, and it'll probably be one of the rare times I'll be glued to The Discovery Channel for anything! It starts in November.

Yes, this part of John Lydon's personality was discovered when he went in the jungle in the reality show 'I'm a celebrity, get me out of here'. He was the only reason why I watched it for as long as I did. This news doesn't surprise me.

However, I can't see him doing this straight-faced and without swearing - that wouldn't be anarchy otherwise.  ;D

I wish I'd seen that (I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here)! I would have loved to have seen Lydon on that, especially when he called someone a "f*cking c*nt" or something just before he quit the show. :D Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this documentary. I don't know if I can see him do this straight faced either, same with swearing. But this is the Discovery Channel, and it's a documentary, so he might have to tone it down! But can you imagine him as another Michael Palin doing nature documentaries? LOL...this should be interesting!! :)

He should host an A&E Crime Story on how fellow band-mate Sid Viscious murdered his girlfriend before killing himself....the little PUNK >:(

That was never proven. And anyway...that's not what this is about.

Sorry...I just saw something last year that featured her family and investigators that thought otherwise...no...not proven...anyway...sorry to go off topic. He should be great as he is a colorful guy ;)

Are you saying Johnny's an insect then? ;) (Just kidding.) :) Was Roger Daltrey really a pirate?

lol...no, i was kidding with him being a pirate. but his rakish good looks and rogue attitude made him a good choice to do that doc.

I imagine it did! That might have been interesting to see. Not that I'm into pirates or anything...or even Roger Daltrey or The Who. I just find it fascinating to see pop stars (and I use the term "pop" to represent all sorts of popular music) present educational documentaries like that. :)

That outburst of John Lydon's was when he found out he wasn't voted OUT. He quit the reality show in the end despite being a firm favourite.

I can see the show not really being his "thing"...:) Then again, I didn't think I'd see him doing a documentary either! He never ceases to amaze me. :)

"Eeeeu, look at awl the nasty li'le buggers, watch me squish 'em!  Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!"

Which is what makes him constantly fascinating. I stereotype him as an anarchist and then he goes out and does something relatively normal.  ;D

Yet he still maintains the sarcastic wit he's always had since the Pistols' days, which is great and an endearing quality I've always admired about him. I hope it comes out in this series. You should read his autobiography (called Rotten). It's quite good from what I've read of it so far. :)

On that basis, a better presenter would surely have been Adam Ant? Or Ziggy Stardust's Spiders From Mars?

There must be a parody in there for all our twisted lyricists, regarding Lydon's insect-introducing malarky, contrasted against his anarchic past... :)

Hey, very true, AV. ;D I normally post on here when I'm at work (on my break, honest!), and I tried to come up with a few more, and even maybe a parody song, then got distracted elsewhere... best wishes!

Ooh, I hope you do come up with a parody! I'd love to see it! :) Now get back to work! :P

Yes, they're NASTY little stinging flies that come out around twilight, sort of like Mayflies.
