When did your parents begin supporting your music career? It is and it’s a bloody strange thing to spend an important part of your childhood analyzing yourself and finding out who you are and what are you. It’s one of the bad perks of being unpopular and infamous.” “It’s really unpleasant when someone else has rewritten your life for you. “If anyone is even the slightest bit interested in my life, here’s the research rather than the hearsay and fabrication,” Lydon says of why he wrote it. Where his last book – 1994’s Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs – focused mostly on his time in the Pistols, the new tome places his whole life in context in his own, often-hilarious words. The 500-page-plus monster covers everything from his youth in London’s Finsbury Park neighborhood, where he survived a bout with meningitis at an early age, to the decades he has spent fronting post-punk experimenters Public Image Ltd., who are putting out a new record likely this fall. The singer has just published his second memoir, Anger Is an Energy: My Life Uncensored. It’s a fitting reply since today’s subject happens to be the entirety of Lydon’s life. When Rolling Stone asks how he’s doing, the 59-year-old singer exclaims, in a dry, British snarl, “I’m alive!” John Lydon, the man who horrified the world in the late Seventies as Sex Pistols ringleader Johnny Rotten, is in an especially good mood today.

The story is so well crafted that I felt like I was watching a movie in my mind. The author intensely transports you back to this era and surprises the reader at every turn. This book is very well written, and the characters are vivid and alive - sorry actually many of them are dead by the end of the book. I wish I could say more about what I liked about the story itself, but the reading of it totally overshadowed everything else for me. I know not everyone can read like Davina Porter of 'Outlander' fame, but come on! This was weak & uninspired despite a story that should have fanned at least a little heat. The fact that I didn't testifies to the strength of the book itself. If the story hadn't been as good I'd have given up an hour in. Truly, it was the worst narration I've chosen to sit through. blah, blah' for all the enthusiasm she showed. There were moments when I felt she might just as well have said 'Yada, yada, yada' or 'blah.
