"Johnny, I think it's time you shut up. It's my turn to talk now."
A forbidden book that overturns the very definition of punk.
Steal it! Steal! Steal!
Bowie's equipment, the Stones' coats, all the members' girlfriends...
Theft, sex, booze, drugs... A man who drowned in all of it and came back to life.
An extremely anarchic life story by an original member of the Sex Pistols.
2022, Book based on the TV drama "Pistol".
Director: Danny Boyle ( The movie "Trainspotting" etc.)
I like big record companies, not childish indie labels like Mickey Mouse. I like the big record companies. This is one of the misconceptions about punk.
"I'm going to make my own magazine and start my own label".
That's bullshit. It's not a hobby. (from the text)
The punk and post-punk bands that followed us emphasized that we couldn't play. They didn't understand how much we had been training.
That "anyone can do it" element of punk.
We were the opposite of that, in the studio we were giving it our all. (from the text)
