John Lydon, and why he berates rebellious kids

John Lydon is reforming PiL, a.k.a. Public Image Limited. In a piece published in today's Guardian in London, the expat Brit and punk founder comments on Youth of Today:

On a recent visit, he says, he berated some schoolkids for throwing stones at passing buses. "Younger people at the moment are very mouthy and aggressive," he complains, oblivious to the irony. "You're all terrified of your own youth. You're not allowed to give them a clip around the ear and send them home." But weren't people scared of him in his youth? "Mmm. That was the power of words, but this lot use violence."
