"I have no time for lies and fantasy, and neither should you. Enjoy or die."--John Lydon
Punk has been romanticized and embalmed in various media. It has been portrayed as an English class revolt and a reckless diversion that became a marketing dream. But there is no disputing its starting point. Every story of punk starts with its idols, the Sex Pistols, and its sneering hero was Johnny Rotten.
In Rotten, 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, and crackling with energy.

"A wrathful Irish poet . . . Lydon proves to have a keen wit and rare insight." --The Washington Post Book World
"A pavement philosopher whose Dickensian roots blossom with Joycean color." --Rolling Stone
"Invaluable . . . sheds welcome light on that short period of great music and spasmodic cultural change." --San Francisco Chronicle

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "I have no time for lies and fantasy, and neither should you. Enjoy or die."--John Lydon Punk has been romanticized and embalmed in various media. It has been portrayed as an English class revolt and a reckless diversion that became a marketing dream. But there is no disputing its starting point. Every story of punk starts with its idols, the Sex Pistols, and its sneering hero was Johnny Rotten. In Rotten, 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, and crackling with energy. Punk's original angry young man and leader of the Sex Pistols finally tells his side of the story in this blunt and poignant autobiography. As the most notorious face of the era--Johnny Rotten--Lydon now tells the real story with contributions from Chrissie Hynde, Billy Idol, and others who were there in the late 70s era that changed youth forever.
