This week’s song of the week features John Lydon, whom you may know better as Johnny Rotten, the who-gives-a-flying-bleep frontman for the Sex Pistols. In this rocking tune, he teams up with Afrika Bambaataa to sing about the Apocalypse, and man does it rock.
The amazing thing here isn’t that Mr. Rotten himself is still kicking it, but that Afrika Bambaataa is an unsung hero in the music world. Known as Kevin Donovan, he has bridged and revolutionized music, especially hip hop, by bringing his influences to the music world, and it is fitting that it is paired with a primal rock song like World Destruction.
