Jimmy Lydon (born May 30, 1923) is an American film and television actor and a television producer, whose career in the entertainment industry began as a teenager during the 1930s.
James J. Lydon was born in Harrington Park in Bergen County in northeastern New Jersey, the fifth of nine children. His family was of Irish heritage. He was raised in Bergenfield, New Jersey.
In 1932, Lydon's father, who was an alcoholic, decided to retire from working. This decision forced all of the other family members to seek employment in the depths of the Great Depression. In 1937, Jimmy Lydon, not knowing what he wanted to do, tried his hand at acting. His first role was Danny in the Broadway play Western Waters. He had been allowed to audition for the part after fabricating a list of roles he had previously portrayed. In the next couple of years, he learned the acting craft while performing in plays such as Sunup to Sundown, Prologue to Glory, Sing Out the News, and The Happiest Days. In 1939, he moved with his family to Hollywood to seek film roles.

John Joseph Lydon (born 31 January 1956), also known by his former stage name Johnny Rotten, is an English singer, songwriter, and musician. He is best known as the lead singer of the punk rock band Sex Pistols from 1975 until 1978, and again for various revivals during the 1990s and 2000s. He is the lead singer of the post-punk band Public Image Ltd (PiL), which he founded and fronted from 1978 until 1993, and again since 2009.
There has been a recent revival of a 1980s movement to have Lydon knighted for his achievements with the Sex Pistols, even though he has declined efforts to award him an MBE for his services to music. In 2002, he was named among the 100 Greatest Britons following a UK-wide vote.Q Magazine remarked that "somehow he's assumed the status of national treasure".
Lydon's image and fashion style led to him being asked to become the singer of the Sex Pistols by their manager, Malcolm McLaren. With the Pistols, he penned singles including "Anarchy in the U.K.", "God Save the Queen", and "Holidays in the Sun", the content of which precipitated the "last and greatest outbreak of pop-based moral pandemonium" in Britain.
The Beatles were an English rock band, formed in Liverpool in 1960. With members John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they became widely regarded as the foremost and most influential act of the rock era. Rooted in skiffle, beat, and 1950s rock and roll, the Beatles later experimented with several genres, ranging from pop ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock, often incorporating classical elements in innovative ways. In the early 1960s, their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania", but as the group's music grew in sophistication, led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, they came to be perceived as an embodiment of the ideals shared by the counterculture of the 1960s.
The Beatles built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over a three-year period from 1960, with Stuart Sutcliffe initially serving as bass player. The core of Lennon, McCartney and Harrison went through a succession of drummers, most notably Pete Best, before asking Starr to join them. Manager Brian Epstein moulded them into a professional act and producer George Martin enhanced their musical potential. They gained popularity in the United Kingdom after their first hit, "Love Me Do", in late 1962. They acquired the nickname "the Fab Four" as Beatlemania grew in Britain over the following year, and by early 1964 they had become international stars, leading the "British Invasion" of the United States pop market. From 1965 onwards, the Beatles produced what many consider their finest material, including the innovative and widely influential albums Rubber Soul (1965), Revolver (1966), Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), The Beatles (commonly known as the White Album, 1968) and Abbey Road (1969).

Glover originally named himself Pig Youth after the reggae chanter Big Youth, who was popular with late 1970s London punk bands. At age 15 he was in a punk band named The Rage, which toured with The Adverts. Later he joined 4" Be 2" - a band formed by John Lydon's brother Jimmy Lydon - and recorded with them the "One of the Lads" single. Soon after exiting Killing Joke in 1982, Martin Glover founded his own commercially oriented dub funk band Brilliant, which recorded one album in 1986, but disbanded later. In 1989, Youth and Alex Paterson started the WAU! Mr. Modo label. Their early releases of a selection of industrial techno dubs, and heavy sound system dubs from artists like Napthali, Manasseh, Bim Sherman and Jah Warrior are long deleted and fetch high sums in private sales.

GALE STORM Forever! Scenes from three early Gale Storm films: 1) "Tom Brown's School Days" (1940). Playing a 14-year-old but actually 18, Gale is a maid for dorm's at a boy's school. Here she is with Jimmy Lydon. 2) "Lure of the Islands" (1942). Gale plays a south seas island girl and sings a hula song while flirting with Guinn "Big Boy" Williams. Actress Margie Hart is billed above the title, but this is the ONLY film she ever made. 3) "Jesse James At Bay" (1941). The first of three westerns Gale made with Roy Rogers and Gabby Hayes. In each she is billed after actress Sally Payne, and yet Gale is the one who rides off into the sunset with Roy. Their chemistry sparks, but their careers then went in different directions.
The story of an old rotten coal bunker, having suffered 12 years of harsh Scottish Weather, being cloned and rebuilt. From the removal of the old one, to the design of the new one, and the final placement, the stages are shown, with the soundtrack being provided for by the Bo****k Brothers, the backing band for Jimmy Lydon, brother of John Lydon, AKA Johnny Rotten. The original tune is 8 minutes of a droning story about Albert Speer re-visiting the Bunker in Berlin where Hitler "died", but I just liked the bassline, and it was passing around my head while building it. We had hoped that some of the old one could be salvaged, but it became apparent that there was just no hope for the old one. Having weatherproofed and hardened it against wear, it should last a lot longer than the other one...
