I personally think his mother, a heroin addict, and Sid's supplier, had something to do with that, although no doubt, Nancy accelerated Sid's race toward destruction, but the reality is, no one takes you where you don't want to go. Uh, isn't that the embodiment of the Punk movement?īut they also hated her for getting Sid hooked on heroin. I did find it ironic that they all hated Nancy so much because of her aggressive, abrasive and immoral character. Most people who are remotely interested in this genre are familiar with Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungeon and their fast track to perdition, but this book only speaks of them peripherally. The Sex Pistols glorified in their disgusting shenanigans on stage, got lots of trash thrown at them while they were performing and, unsurprisingly imploded without hope of recovery only a couple of years after they began. After reading this book I conclude that everyone involved was a bunch of illiterate reprobates who were anti-everything, including each other. It is difficult to say whether I gained any insight to the Punk movement of the late seventies. He was also promoting this book, so I bought it. I saw John Lydon on the Conan O'Brian show and was impressed with his thoughtful intelligence.
