The outspoken frontman for the Sex Pistols Johnny Rotten (Lydon) has lashed out about the troubled singer Amy Winehouse saying that the reason she is on drugs is to disguise her "lack of talent". He went on to say that her Grammy award winning album was "idiotic".
Rotten then goes on to tell a newspaper in Scotland, "Poor old Amy. Aimless Winehouse would be a better term. I love all kinds of music but the one thing I have never done is imitate black music in her idiotic way. "There's not a single word that means anything. It's not like these songs are deeply moving or inspirational or cultural in any way you could find useful."
Rotten doesn't stop there, "I don't like pale imitations and shades of things and I am always wary when people go jazzy because jazz is the best cover up for a lack of talent. And the cover up for her, which is probably the guilt trip, is that she requires vast amounts of drugs to hide the fact that she is fake."
