KCRW Premiere: Public Image Ltd – Out of the Woods Video

Iconic rocker John Lydon is back in action with a new album from his highly influential outfit Public Image Ltd. He’ll be doing a DJ set at KCRW’s Halloween ball Masquerade this weekend and told Eric J Lawrence that he will be “playing records that are enjoyable and poignant to me”.

He also weighs in on dance culture in his notoriously quick-witted manner, saying “I actually create music and hate loathe and despise the cheesy sods that have the audacity to claim credit for spinning our product”. Gotta love Johnny Rotten!
