I have no time for lies and fantasy; and neither should you. Enjoy or die... --John LydonPunk has been romanticized and embalmed in various media. An English class revolt that became a worldwide fashion statement; punks idols were the Sex Pistols; and its sneering hero was Johnny Rotten.Seventeen years later; John Lydon looks back at himself; the Sex Pistols; and the "no future" disaffection of the time. Much more than just a music book; Rotten is an oral history of punk: angry; witty; honest; poignant; crackling with energy. Malcolm McLaren; Sid Vicious; Chrissie Hynde; Billy Idol; London and England in the late 1970s; the Pistols creation and collapse...all are here; in perhaps the best book ever written about music and youth culture; by one of its most notorious figures.

Skip this ridiculously expensive book. The book reads as a college term paper. Example; the Septizodium has been excavated and is fenced off so that tourists get an idea where it was. This author would have it bent to meet an arch that did not exist when Septizodium was built. I rest my case.
