Public Image Ltd - Rise

PUBLIC IMAGE LTD - RISE (1986) By 1986, John Lydon had come a long way from ‘Anarchy In the U. K.’, but his basic character hadn’t changed much: he was as brutally honest and frank as ever with hypocrites, liars and fools, all the while confessing he could be any of the three himself. If people didn’t get the sardonic, self-mocking humour fuelling Johnny's acid anger more fool them. The imposing epic RISE, the lyrics of which assailed the Apartheid regime's brutal torture tactics, was filled with a similar passive-aggressive invective that's turned inward, revealing the vulnerability behind the Rotten mask. "I could be wrong/I could be r-r-r-right," he admitted, then, "I could be black/I could be white..." He told Smash Hits: "I read this manual on South African interrogation techniques, and 'Rise' is quotes from some of the victims. I put them together because I thought it fitted in aptly with my own feelings about daily existence." The ending is a scene right out of A Clockwork Orange, as John goes under the weight of civilization's discontents, "They put a hot wire to my head/Cause of the things I did and said/They made these feelings go away/A model citizen in every way." And the way he spits it out leaves you feeling violated by the same self-indictment. Then, the chant to fade, "Anger is an energy...anger is an energy...anger is an energy..." #johnlydon #publicimage #pilot #publicimageltd
