I have always thought Hex Enduction Hour was somewhat over-eulogised.

That's my view as well. Room to Live compares favourably to it but - if I remember rightly - did not attract especially favourable reviews when it came out.

Yeah. I think the issue with Room to Live for a lot of people was that it was really short - only seven songs and one of them was Papal Visit!

I'll give you an answer mate. Judging by the size of John Lydon he's probably getting skint from the food he's eating. I think he'd be better off holding these Q&A gigs in an 'all you can eat' restaurant in each location he's in that night; )
