1978 would’ve been an amazing time in Jamaica.. So many great singers & players during the heights of reggae
-
I adore this beautiful human being x
-
Wow this is great , Lydon is really under rated as a fashion pioneer ...all his looks in this could have come straight from a contemporary fashion show ...great sense of style and look extraordinary in the incongruous Jamaican surroundings.
-
John really does seem like a great guy. He really seems like he has a good heart. If he is your friend, he has your back. It is so heartbreaking that the band were only able to make one album, Sid and Nancy passed away, and John's wife allegedly had chronic illness. Great rare video here, thank you.
-
John was a huge reggae fan once a fan wrote to him for his favorite songs and in came a bunch of reggae.
-
I absolutely love Johnny. What a beautiful human being. ❤❤❤❤
-
He is so young here @22 years old. I love Jamaica...the culture and people are wonderful.
-
Absolute unique footage! Lydon is not whining nonstop, at all, not even talking! Ultra rare!
-
Loved watching this . Had no idea it was even a ' thing' before stumbling upon this video. Such a cool dude, without even trying
-
Love this man. A real gem.
-
He has the man who fell to Earth vibe ..
-
One thing that I do notice from this footage is that even if Rotten has a frequent 'bad attitude' he has above all integrity (he is honest to himself)...and even has the will power to not be swayed by access to easy moments of pleaser.
-
Wow............an honor to see this stuff had no idea it existed!
-
He has a signature unique pose in all of these videos . Always appearing Laid back and kinda nonchalant
-
