STEVE JONES
Sex and Thievery A Memoir
A memoir from the guitarist of legendary, groundbreaking punk pioneers: the Sex Pistols
The prototypical street-urchin-turned-Sex- Pistols-guitarist was the inspiration for and creator of the punk movement, which started shaking the culture in late 1970s London and is just as strong today. Sex and Thievery presents never-before-told
A
stories of an abused boy who was neglected by his mother and stepfather and abandoned by his biological father. It chronicles the petty crime and anger of his youth, which fueled the musical onslaught to come, the meteoric rise of the Pistols, the role of impresario Malcolm McLaren, and how a band with one album defined a generation and changed history. Sex and Thieveryeducates people on where it all
started, straight from the guy who inspired the whole scene.
