Oh, er... sorry, didn'nt see ya there! 
statements, yes... provocative in a much more 'in yer face' way than 'political'.
Especially in the public eye. Compare the Pistols famous run in with Bill Wossname!
Burning the Pascal (500Franc note)! His version of Aux Armes etc.
Whitney!!! 
And even (well, especially!) when he was younger. His whole early appeal was that of an arrogant but compelling intellectual rebel with an incisive Riche Gauche verve and self-depracating* Gallic charm.
But never reforming, no. Oh no! He was by no means a reformed character himself! 
well, gotta go, hope that goes some way towards answering your question. More details available on the Web, I had to cut this down!

* Well, if you *can* be self-depracating and arrogant at the same time!
