A punk rock icon turns 51

Many years ago, in what seemed like a previous life, my first band used to mess around with the song Anarchy in the UK by The Sex Pistols. When this guy Vic (nicknamed Jesus Christ for his calm demeanor and long hair) would come to our practices would break out in the best Johnny Rotten impression. He wouldn't sing anything else. To this day anytime I hear Anarchy in the UK I have to stop and remember the old days. I am old enough to remember when punks really were punks, not just some douche with eye make-up, and had their own causes.

So today, Johnny "Rotten" Lyden turns 51. I guessed he would've been older, but 30 years ago during the punk revolution he would've been around 21. Seems about right. Happy B-day, yo!
