Going from anti-establishment figurehead to a cynical, paranoid bootlicker. WTF happened to Johnny Rotten?

Intelligent without being intellectual and always entertaining. And what about that whine? Lydon via Andrew Perry more or less chronologically recounts his life from a wee lad to the present time.

Full of laughs there are also decidedly more serious and tender moments than you would expect and Johnny comes off as a fairly serious person, not one for sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll but he's seen it, just not participated.

What an excellent telling of the entire life of the Sex Pistols, warts and all. I learned many things from this book that I didn't already know. Lydon is a master story teller, and I look forward to reading more excellent stories from him.
