Never mind the situationists; this was situation comedy -- Child of the ashes -- John Gray, a longtime childhood friend -- John Christopher Lydon, my Father -- Steptoe-rag and the fashion victim -- "I want you to know that I hate you, Baby" -- Stone-cold dead silence/a John and Paul summit -- Every mistake imaginable -- Hand on eyes -- The skaters of Streatham/Nora, my Wife -- Steve Severin on the Bromley Contingent -- Shooting in the dark -- Paul Cook, drummer -- "How brilliant! They hate the Beatles!" Paul Stahl, Marco Pirroni, & Dave Ruffy -- Kiss this--The Pistols track by track -- John Wayne look-alikes in dresses -- Goundhog Day 1979 -- Big draw, then hand on face/Don Letts, John Lydon, and Jeanette Lee -- Where's the money? -- Never mind the lolling on the sand, here's the affidavits/a legal pie fight -- No Irish, no Blacks, no dogs, -- John Christopher Lydon, slight return -- "Ever get the feeling ..." -- Where are they now?
Summary: "Much has been written about the Sex Pistols. Much of it has either been sensationalism or journalistic psychobabble. The rest has been mere spite. This book is as close to the truth as one can get ... This means contradictions and insults have not been edited, and neither have the compliments, if any. I have no time for lies or fantasy, and neither should you. Enjoy or die." So writes author John Lydon, a.k.a. Johnny Rotten, in his introduction to the book Rotten, an oral history of punk: angry, honest, and crackling with energy.
