More about the book

"Much more than just a rock autobiography, this book is an oral history of punk : at once angry, witty, honest, poignant and crackling with energy. Malcolm McLaren, Sid Vicious, Chrissie Hynde, Billy Idol, Britain in the late seventies, the Pistol's explosion onto the moribund music scene and their implosion under the pressures of superstardom - all these and more are dissected with Lydon's scalpel-sharp pen, in perhaps the best book ever written about music and youth culture, by one of its notorious figures." - back cover.
