While he didn't create punk rock, he was present at the beginning, took it over, and then destroyed it. Populated and related by some of the most bizarre and self-destructive characters (read: Sid Vicious) of the 1970's, the book pretty much lays out the whole history. Though, at times you wonder where the truth begins/ends and the the press flaks take over. Hey, but who cares?! A great read. God Save the Queen
