Given that John Lydon, once the embodiment of a generation’s vitriol and angst, now advertises butter, we shouldn’t be surprised that people will plunder the Sex Pistols’ name to sell unrelated items, but it’s still a kick in the teeth to read they’re putting out perfume. Yes, Etat Libre d’Orange has signed a deal with promoter Live Nation Merchandise to release a unisex perfume in a branded ‘God Save the Queen’ style box. Not even bondage trousers and safety pins, but perfume. Live Nation insist the band were “closely involved”, which we assume means they cashed the cheque awkwardly. There’s also, and we swear we’re not making this up, plans for a ‘Never Mind the Bollocks’ branded soap. For fuck’s sake.
