Of course he’s going to go down that road.”

Wallace continues, “I think good on him.

I’d be disappointed if therewasn’tsome kind of a row.

I don’t think it’s going to hurt the project, so there you go.”

TrainspottingfilmmakerDanny Boyle, who directedPistol, shares Wallace’s mindset about Lydon’s antagonism towards the series.

And it’s what gives the songs such bite, I think."

Boyle adds that this is what made revisiting the band incredible.

Anyway, it’s a small price to pay, to be unpopular with John.
