Sex Pistols: Chci bejt sám sebou – Simpson Dave (2022)

Without the Sex Pistols, who fundamentally influenced the culture of the twentieth century and sparked a social revolution, punk as we know it would probably not exist. The band mocked the British establishment and the music industry, attacked the queen, and shocked the entire nation with their infamous appearance on Bill Grundy's Today show. This ignited the anger of a generation that had nothing to lose. The story of the Sex Pistols is a story of outrage; Jonny Rotten and Sid Vicious were typical representatives of the anarchy and anger of their generation. In less than three years, this band transformed popular music beyond recognition and paved the way for the Ramones, The Clash, and other punk rock legends. In his book, Dave Simpson takes readers through 1970s London, the rise of the Sex Pistols and the punk movement in general, and the circumstances surrounding the recording of the legendary album Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols. His account of the rise and fall of the Pistols is a candid portrayal of intelligent rebels who decided to change the music business and confront hypocrisy and stale conventions. Simpson brilliantly captures the atmosphere of Britain at the time and reveals the complexities and character differences that caused the Sex Pistols to provoke so much controversy until their breakup.
