    "comment": "Released on this day in 1987!\n\nIn the mid-'80s, John Lydon was a man without a band. He still carried the moniker of Public Image Ltd. – the group he had formed once the Sex Pistols imploded – but had ditched all of the band’s other members due to control issues and drug addiction.\n\nAfter making 1986’s Album, a solo album in all but name, Lydon started to assemble a new band to fly the PiL flag.\n\nTo promote the metallic grooves of Album (and its single, “Rise”) on tour, the singer put together something of a post-punk supergroup.\n\nOn guitar were John McGeoch (Magazine and Siouxsie and the Banshees) and Lu Edmonds (the Damned and the Mekons) who also played keyboards. Bruce Smith, of the Pop Group and the Slits, sat behind the drum kit. American Allan Dias joined on bass. On the road, the quintet landed on PiL’s new sound -- still dance-oriented, but with a melodic bent and slightly less ragged feel. Lydon appeared pleased… at least as pleased as a man that was once known as Johnny Rotten can be. https://tinyurl.com/dju4vnjd\n\n“This is a complete enterprise between the lot of us. We are all equal,” Lydon told MTV Europe in 1987. “This is the permanent lineup of Public Image now, and will be for a long time…. It’s righteous. It’s about time, and all.” https://tinyurl.com/dju4vnjd",
