Sex Pistols Singer-Songwriter Johnny Rotten Talks Scrapbooking

John Lydon, known to many as Johnny Rotten from the Sex Pistols, has not released a full-length album in 15 years but instead has begun selling autobiographical scrapbooks, reports The L.A. Times.

“Mr. Rotten’s Scrapbook” is a limited edition publication full of drawings, paintings, photographs, poems, and notes that sells for about $750.

“It’s mistakes, warts and all, but free form, as I truly remember a thing…True feelings and relationships with the people I’ve worked with. I tell it as it is,” John Lyndon said.

He describes his first autobiography, “Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs,” as “boring, straightforward facts a bit, not getting into the personality of me-self, for instance, or anyone else I’m involved with.” Lydon explains that “the scrapbook is a really friendly approach- and, oddly enough, more accurate.”

Lydon seems to have transformed his creative outlet from music into a new medium. The artwork is colorful and original, the writing is stream-of-consciousness, and every piece in the scrapbook tells a little bit about his fascinating life as one of the most influential members in the history of popular music.
