| The man who was Johnny Rotten
returns from his new role as John Lydon, film actor, with a new single.
It screams "contractual obligation" even as it creeps up and hooks you;
the old devil sneers that he's got a new attitude where money's concerned,
and sure enough, the 12-inch contains 'Public Image', PiL's first single
and a tempting sales booster. 'This Is Not A Love Song' sounds sparse,
its riff (yes, there's a riff) is catchy, and it's irresistible. |
