Description
Anger is energy – an open, witty, and quirky autobiography by John Lydon, who, under the nickname Johnny Rotten, changed the face of pop culture first as the frontman of the Sex Pistols and later as the singer of PiL. Without any mockery, irony, or sentimentality, Rotten recounts his childhood in a poor neighborhood of Irish immigrants in North London (with Dickensian realism, he describes how he carried out buckets of dead babies that his mother had accidentally miscarried), his illness (at the age of seven, he contracted meningitis – he spent six months in a coma in the hospital, and when he woke up, he did not recognize his parents), and his adolescence among rough Arsenal fans, playing the triangle in the school orchestra, and his friendship with Sid Vicious. Despite moving in remarkable circles for many years, whether with punks or showbiz managers, Lydon managed to maintain his inner integrity and keep a clear head, providing a compelling testimony about it.
