"I wanna destroy passers by!"

It appears that John Lydon (a.k.a. Johnny Rotten) has been involved in a backstage scuffle with Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke. According to this piece in the Guardian, Okereke approached Lydon to ask about the possibility of a Public Image Ltd. reunion, and Lydon responded with a stream of (at times racist) invective and the whole thing escalated into a massive indie-rock scrap (members of Kaiser Chiefs and Foals also rolling up their sleeves and getting involved), leaving Okereke with a bruised face and split lip, and Lydon with some serious 'splainin' to do.

Rotten indeed.
