Are there two Johnny Rotten's?

[mycats]

Er no, why?

[tubeway]

I think one was enough - dont get me wrong I was a pistols fan - but yeah one is enough.

There's a Johnny Rotten mentioned in a Neil Young song....'Hey Hey, My My'

[led zeppelin]

but i don't understand why neil young would sing about him, isn't needle and the damage done a song about johnny rotten??

[Sabbath]

Blackfoot nailed it. Better to burn out than it is too die, Hey hey, My My.
"Needle and the Damage Done" was done before the Sex Pistols were started. Seems to be about heroin though and I do believe that Mr. Rotten may have experimented with heroin and other mood-altering substances.

ok, thanx for helping me

The reference to Johnny Rotten in 'Hey Hey, My My' is comparing him to Elvis and talking about musical icons...

"The king is gone but he's not forgotten
This is the story of Johnny Rotten"

'The Needle and The Damage Done' by Neil Young (from the album 'Harvest') is about his former band-mate Danny Whitten who was a heroin addict.
