Happy Birthday -->Johnny Rotten - Sex Pistols and The Muppets - Friggin' in The Riggin'

John Joseph Lydon aka Johnny Rotten born 31 January 1956, is a British singer-songwriter, best known as the lead vocalist and lyricist of the punk rock group the Sex Pistols during the 1970's, and of the post-punk group Public Image Ltd. in the 80s and 90's.
Lydon became notorious and controversial figure in the media during the 1970s as a figurehead of the punk movement, and for his stance against the musical establishment, class system and the British monarchy.
The origin of the stage name Johnny Rotten has had varying explanations. One, given in a Daily Telegraph feature interview with Lydon in 2007, was that "he was given the name in the mid '70s, when his neglect of oral hygiene saw his teeth turning green". Another story says the name was allegedly given to him by Steve Jones, after Jones saw his teeth and exclaimed "You're rotten, you are!"
In 1977, the band released "God Save the Queen" during the week of Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee. The song was a hit, but caused so much controversy that Lydon was attacked in the streets by an angry mob. They stabbed him in his left hand, his leg, and nearly gouged out his eye with a beer bottle. Since then, he has not been able to properly make a fist with his left hand..."lay back and groove".
