Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol [Paperback]

With a foreword by Chrissie Hynde

InLonely Boy, Steve Jones tells his story for the very first time, describing the sadness of never having known his real dad, the abuse suffered at the hands of his stepfather, and how his interest in music and fashion saved him from a potential life of crime. He takes readers through the recording of Anarchy in the UK andNever Mind the Bollocks, recounts his infamous confrontation on Bill Grundy'sTodayprogram, and delves into the details of his self-imposed exile in New York and L.A. where he battled alcohol, heroin, and sex addiction but eventually emerged to gain fresh acclaim as an actor and radio host.

From being a young oik in Hammersmith to being a sex addicted, burnt out addict in L.A., Steve Jones has led a bloody interesting life. He was the man who kick started the Sex Pistols, one of the most influential bands in British music, and ended up as one of the least likely guitar heroes in rock 'n' roll. A raw, vanity-free dive into a life marred by an abused childhood, petty crime, and addictions to drink, drugs, and sex, but rescued by Jones's relentless aspiration for a better life.

MOJO Jones's autobiography is anything but quaint.... His book's title speaks volumes, although l3#
