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."
Johnny Rotten, the leader of the legendary Sex Pistols and now a singer for the group PiL, tells his side of the story, with recollections from Chrissie Hynde, Billy Idol, and others who know the prince of punk. 50,000 first printing. National ad/promo.
