The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle ( )
  Gumbywan | Jun 24, 2022 |
"Furtive". That's what this book should have been called.

Sadly, it's a bit all over the place: the author apologises, then rants, apologises, and then goes on some sexistic, nationalistic, and truly weird traipse throughout the rest of the book. His writing of being sexually abused was harrowing and greatly written, though, it must be said. As were the details of his growing up in England.

On the other side, reading this, it's very evident why Lydon was the successful wordsmith of the Sex Pistols. Quite an unfair comparison, but from all the sexist bullshit that Jones has pushed throughout this book, he's worth that comparison. And yes, it's probably hell trying to live through being a Sex Pistol nowadays. Not really, though.

An easy read, but more frustrating than entertaining. I'd recommend Viv Albertine's autobiography any day of the week, honestly, if you're looking for something in the same vein as this. ( )
