After all, it would have only have resulted in a court case at the time & I can't see Lydon being frightened of that. Perhaps he was "asked" to stay silent?

If he did say anything he was probably ignored. The BBC did ban some of his music from radio and TOTP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't until I saw him on Judge Judy of all things that I grew to like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altus Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 6 hours ago, Baron99 said: It is funny though, all these people who came out of the woodwork many years AFTER Savile's death & all the stories. What stopped the likes of John Lydon from speaking up earlier. Surely nobody is going to accuse Johnny Rotten as being part of the 'Establishment'? Jerry Sadowitz referenced rumours about Saville during an Edinburgh Fringe show. I remember seeing hit late night on BBC2 at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butlers Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 To be fair Sadowitz has said many outrageous things about people in the public eye. What he says about Elton John would make you gasp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lydon didnt choose to be silent, he said he was silenced, remember it was 1978, he was only about 19, not as big in the music world as he is now.

melthebell Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Boris backtracking on what he said now, if he meant the organisation as a whole why didnt he mention that at the time? He's backtracking because lots of people including people in his own party arent happy with what he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
