Smells like middle-age pandering
Better retract your initial statement now, Johnny, now that it's cool to like Pink Floyd again. No, of course you didn't mean that back in '76.

I thought shock value was important in the mid to late 70s for breaking into the music business - besides - no matter who you are someone somewhere is going to hate you.

The thing is, why can't he just be honest? Why can't he just say, "I hated Pink Floyd at the time, because it was the punk rock ethos, however I have since changed my views?" (hypothetical Rotten statement) There are things I have always loved, there are things I have always hated, there are things I used to love and now hate, there are things I used to hate and now love, there are thing I used to love, then hated, then now appreciate, ad infinitum. I won't go into examples of these unless someone begs me, but at least I can be honest about it and admit I was wrong on certain things. And I thought at one point Rotten was very honest, but now it just seems like backtracking. So would other punks beat up Johnny if he didn't come out against bands like Floyd back in '76? At least The Damned didn't care about that as they tried to get Syd Barrett (and ultimately got Nick Mason) to produce their 2nd album! I will forever stand by my statement that a "I Hate Led Zeppelin" t-shirt would've been much more deserving.

I guess I'd better return the Zeppelin music collection and fan buttons I got you for this coming Christmas.

Ooooh....fan buttons. I want a big 2" one with Robert Plant screaming with bare chest...no, wait...Jimmy Page with sequinned dragon outfit. Urrrgh...I feel nausea coming on. Better stop.
