Footnote
"I call this 'The Lydon King'. The picture was done because Public Image had formed and their first record was coming out. John couldn't have been more bored, and was being very uncooperative. This is me pretty much giving up. I'd said 'you don't want to be here, and neither do I. Let's go home'. So I'd unplugged the strobe light, and he was just about to get off the stool. The only lighting was a small bulb that we used in the strobe to see by, and not light by, it's got moodiness though, and that totally reflected the way he was that day".
