Sex Pistols' John Lydon: 'Simon Cowell is our worst enemy'Sex Pistols star John Lydon has criticised Simon Cowell's role in producing a "cruise ship" culture in pop music. The singer called the TV and music mogul his "worst enemy" in a talk at Oxford University's Sheldonian Theatre on Monday (December 8). The punk said: "Simon Cowell, that's our worst enemy...I don't think [the contestants] on the [X Factor] are that awful, it becomes awful when they become trained into that cruise ship show band mentality, and that's the poison of it. [Simon Cowell] has got us all on his big cruise ship lollipop, and I ain't licking his lollipop. The singer was speaking in promotion of his new book Anger Is An Energy, which is out now.
