Why? Because Glen Matlock is a giant, weeping baby, and doesn't want his son hearing "curse words." Of course, the obvious solution is, "don't bring the kid to the show, because your singer is John Lydon and he is going to do whatever he wants", but I guess it never hurts to ask.

I mean, unless you were dealing with someone who may curse more just to spite you. Not that Lydon is like that or anything....

 

Lydon said:

He's been saying that all this swearing should stop. I understand he's a father and doesn't want his son to have to hear foul language... The juxtaposition of all those different psychic things in your head and all the confusion, the anger, the frustration, you have to capture in those words.

In other words, "fuck off, dude, I'm saying what I want."

 

Oh well. Nice try, Glen. You wuss. You're no Sid Vicious.

 

As of this writing, there are five Sex Pistols reunion shows next month. All of which should be full of good, old fashioned curse words.
