Book Preview: "Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol"

The Sex Pistol tells his story of the band that caused a paradigm shift in music. Via nihilistic songs, anarchical fashion and bad-boy behavior, guitarist Jones and his mates would become key inventors of punk rock. Jones gives readers  a perspective into his childhood, which was one of abuse and neglect, the meaning- less sexual exploits he’d encounter later in life, and the drug addiction he struggled with. Despite his times of adversity, Jones––now a popular radio personality––concludes his memoir on a sweet note of sobriety and the self-acceptance he had always longed for.
