"A lucid, literate pleasure." ---Kirkus Starred Review
By the nineties he’d broadened his reach into other media while always maintaining his trademark invective and wit, most memorably hosting Rotten TV on VH1.John Lydon remains a captivating and dynamic figure to this day—both as a musician, and, thanks to his outspoken, controversial, and from-the-hip opinions, as a cultural commentator. From the legendary frontman of the Sex Pistols, comes the complete, unvarnished story of his life in his own words.John Lydon is an icon—one of the most recognizable and influential cultural figures of the last forty years. As Johnny Rotten, he was the lead singer of the Sex Pistols-the world’s most notorious band. The Pistols shot to fame in the mid-1970s with songs such as “Anarchy in the UK” and “God Save the Queen.” So incendiary was their impact at the time that in
.

Totally recommend Chandira LOVE this book. John Lydon's childhood is archetypally Shamanic, if you know your Joseph Campbell Hero's Journey. A lot of dismemberment and trauma, and close encounters with self-reinvention. He also confesses to having his own psychic gifts, which I find truly fascinating. You can read this autobiography on quite a few levels, he's obviously a very complex personality, and a very original thinker. He has gone out, used his traumas, and brought us back some real gems. He even says that he has opened a door into something, wanting us to walk through also, more s. A remarkable surprise. I started this book believing that the Sex Pistols were something totally different than what they really were. Halfway through I now believe that the Sex Pistols are perhaps the most important rock back since the moment their first album hit #1. Why? Because what you saw was 10000% genuine and honest. And that is my take on JL nowso clear in his vision, so honest , and so fearless. Everyone since has tried to package rebellion and an intolerance to a very tough and hypocritical morality, but they all look to the Sex Pistols for inspiration.. a good read for fans Lydon has always been an inspiration to me. This book is an enjoyable read. The style is somewhat rambling and stream of consciousness. Lydon reveals not quite all to show himself as very talented and exceptionally human.
