Which is the bigger disappointment?

[Faustus]

 

Bob Dylan

 

 

Iggy Pop

 

 

Johnny Rotten

 

Three absolute legends of music and each have had some part in creating some of my own personal favourite songs and albums over the yeas. I'd even go as far as to say that all three have influenced my life in varying degrees.

 

However, every time I watch the telly, it seems you can't go a bloody ad break without seeing Blowin' In The Wind on a Co-op advert, Iggy Pop prostituting himself selling 'time' on a car insurance advert or Johnny Rotten in johdpers hawking butter.

 

A little piece of me dies whenever I see one of those bloody adverts. And don't even get me started on You're The Best Thing and There She Goes being used to advertise fucking couches.

 

Even though the actions of all three displease me to an extent, I think I'm more pissed off with Iggy Pop. Rotten's long been a bit of a twat, in my opinion, so I'm not surprised at him and at least Dylan himself isn't in one of those adverts pushing a trolley around the aisles of a Co-op talking about low prices. Iggy Pop's are just unforgivable.

 

If you'd have said to me a just after me and a hundred other people stormed the stage when The Stooges played at Glasto the other year that he'd be advertising car insurance in the future, I think I'd have asked for a bit of what you were smoking.

I think you are kidding yourself to believe that any of the above artists were it for anything other than the money. Who isn't?

I'm not.

 

It doesn't mean I don't have to feel a bit sad about it.

None of the above, this is, though:

Johnny Rotten. He wasn't about the money when he started and he showed how much 'business' acumen he has when they did that song EMI.

 

To see him prostituting himself on a butter advert is just... shameful.

Rotten is just pure panto these days. He's fucking hilarious though. Like Olly Reed used to, he plays up to the public perception of himself. He's a character, that's all.

Iggy Pop doing those adverts made me feel sick. I wouldnt mind as much if he was in a suit and was selling it, its the fact that he's making out like getting insurance is crazy and wild. Worra douche!
