The story of how Johnny Rotten got into the Sex Pistols is quite well-worn: he was wearing a PF shirt, which he tore up and added 'I HATE' over the logo. Malcolm McLaren noticed him on more than one occasion, and he grabbed Johnny just as he was walking out of McLaren's shop (Sex). He made him lip-synch to Jonathan Richman's 'Roadrunner' on the Sex jukebox, and the rest is history.
