Sex Pistolsin kitaristilta Steve Jonesilta elämänkerta tammikuussa

legendaarisen punk rock -yhtye Sex Pistolsin kitaristi Steve Jones aikoo julkaista elämänkerran nimeltä ”Lonely Boy: Tales Of A Sex Pistol” tammikuussa 2018 Da Capo Pressin kautta. Ensi vuonna tulee kuluneeksi myös 40 vuotta yhtyeen debyyttialbumin ”Never Mind the Bollocks” julkaisusta. Kirjaa on kuvattu seuraavasti:

”In ”Lonely Boy”, Jones recounts the nihilistic songs, amphetamine-fueled music, and influential anarchical fashion that turned a street urchin into a founding member of a genre-defining band. From his days of petty crime and havoc-wreaking in England, to his first impression of Sid Vicious and famously blowing off the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony with Johnny Rotten, ”Lonely Boy” offers a portrait of a punk pioneer-a demigod to a generation of frustrated youth who identified with the band’s political and social condemnations of life for the working class.

Traumatic childhood abuse and neglect, meaningless sexual exploits, life-threatening drug addiction, and bottoming out on heroin-all are covered candidly in ”Lonely Boy”. It brings us face-to-face with a Steve Jones neither seen on stage nor heard over the airwaves, a man who spent his youth at the epicenter of angst in class-ruled Britain, taunting and ridiculing the establishment, who later, through sobriety, finally learned to be comfortable in his own skin.”
