Rotten - no Irish, no blacks, no dogs : the authorized autobiography, Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols

John Lydon looks back at himself, the Sex Pistols and the no future disaffection of the 70s. This is an oral history of punk, at once angry, witty, honest, poignant and crackling with energy. Malcom MacLaren, Sid Vicious, Chrissie Hynde, Billy Idol, Britain in the late seventies, the Pistols' explosion onto the moribound music scene and their implosion under the pressures of superstardom, all these and more are dissected with Lydon's scalpel-sharp pen.
