Steve Jones - Lonely boy - A Sex Pistols gitárosának history

Without the Sex Pistols, there would be no punk, and without Steve Jones, there would be no Sex Pistols: he was the one who formed the band with his schoolmate Paul Cook, which eventually became famous and infamous under this name. This stylistic trend was born with them, the influence and cultural significance of which can still be felt in music, fashion and visual arts. Steve, the original leader of the gang, now reveals their story to the world.Steve Jones's modern Dickensian novel begins on the streets of Hammersmith and Shepherd's Bush in West London, where a lonely, neglected but resourceful lad lives the life of a pub thief, until one day David The glam rock of Bowie and Roxy Music does not give him a new purpose in life. This is how the first generation of ragtag punks rises, which Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood take under their wings. In Lonely boy, Steve confesses his pain at not knowing his real father, talks about his abusive stepfather and how his interest in music and fashion saved him from spending half of his life in police custody and prisons. It takes the reader through the early 70s from the downbeat Kings Road to the Sex Pistols, punk rock, the recording of "Anarchy in the UK" and Never Mind the Bollocks... He recalls the infamous interview on Bill Grundy's Today show, which catapulted the culture of "filth and fury" to the front pages and brought punk into the British public consciousness. He discusses in detail the years of self-imposed exile in New York and Los Angeles, addiction to alcohol, heroin and sex, from which he eventually emerged victorious to gain new recognition as an actor and radio host.
Lonely boy is the story of an unlikely guitar hero who, with the Sex Pistols, subverted twentieth-century culture and started a social revolution.
