sucked dry of any scruffiness and all that beautiful space. So for me those albums are disappointing because I know they could have been better.” "Disappointed": John Lydon (1989/99): "'Disappointed' is what it says, it's just about the many and varied ways people let you down." "But, you know, that's what people will always do. You can't change the human race. You've just got to accept that as a fact of life." "Friends will let you down, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have friends. You should enjoy it for the very fact that they are human beings and fallible, that that very fallibility is what you should enjoy about human contact.

It poses the question, how would Mr. Bush feel if he knew? I don't write anything purely just for atmosphere, that would be boring. Things have to have a point to them." Bruce Smith (1989): "One thing that is good about this new record is that several of the tunes are from what Lydon did at home on machines, really far-out pieces of music, really fucking great."
