...compares himself to his surroundings and to others. Chitrabhanu says this comparison leads either to a superiority complex or an inferiority complex. The former alienates man from everyone else, because he feels arrogant and insults his fellows. The latter causes feelings of worthlessness and self-hate which manifest themselves in gossip and criticism of others. The temptation to succumb to ego is subtle and deadly, Chitrabhanu emphasizes, likening it to an exam: "You have worked the whole year, and when the exam comes, if you become sick or you become upset or you go to sleep, then the whole year...

Part of the problem is the manifest influence of Malcolm MacLaren, the Sex Pistols' manager, who apparently drove Rotten from the band and tried to fill the vacuum. MacLaren is the same imbecile who tried to dress up the New York Dolls in Communist regalia and helped to ensure their demise. He actually sings a track...
