John Lydon offers you the chance of a 1-to-1 interview
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater November 10th, 2010

I can't say I've ever had the desire to interview John Lydon, although I'm sure he'd be an entertaining person to do so with. If you're a fan of the man and fancy having a 10-minute one-to-one chat with him then you're in luck, or you could be.

He releases a book very soon, entitled Mr Rotten's Scrapbook, which is about all manner of things and is limited to 750 copies worldwide. 750 copies? That's not a lot, is it? No, it's not, which is why the price of the thing is £379. That, on the other hand, is a lot. Anyway, the gist of all of this is that in 100 of these scrapbook editions there will be a golden ticket (see below) which, if you find one, means you get to chat with the man himself. Not in person, mind, on a webcam. For 10 minutes. I understand this is sounding less and less appealing by the minute, but still.

The golden ticket is below, as well as a handwritten note from Lydon regarding something or other with Cliff Richard.

From http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs576.ash2/149806<em>541526137957</em>283600051<em>2263022</em>4784681_n.jpg

From http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs978.snc4/77180<em>541526162907</em>283600051<em>2263023</em>7408205_n.jpg

Note how he writes "Cliff Richards" as opposed to the more correct "Cliff Richard". That said, he's also scrawled "Congradulations", so I'd suggest he's having a bit of laugh. More info on the scrapbook can be found here.
