England's Dreaming
England's Dreaming | Jon Savage
7 posts | 7 read | 11 to read
Jon Savage's Ralph Gleason Award-winning England's Dreaming is the ultimate book on punk, its progenitors, the Sex Pistols, and their time: the late 1970s. Full of anedcote, insight, and exclusive interviews, it tells the sensational story of the meteoric rise and rapid decline of the last great rock'n'roll band and the cultural moment they came to define. The critical reputation of England's Dreaming has grown over the past decade and a half. This updated edition includes an introduction focusing on the legacy of punk twenty-five years on, an account of the Sex Pistols 1996 reunion, and a comprehensively updated discography.

Hubby says you just need to read England‘s Dreaming and you‘ll know everything you need to know. He reads it about once every other month so there must be a lot to know!
I put some others in the pic from the shelves!
Waiting at Heathrow for my long haul now.

#hundredgrand @LaurenReads

Congratulations on your milestone! Well read and no mistake 🙂

I'm a punk at heart and this book transports me to an era I was too young (or not even born) to be a part of. Factual but evocative, in depth but by no means dry and as much a social history as a musical one, this a book that is as entertaining as it is illuminating and I will never tire of recommending it.

England‘s Dreaming is literally hubby‘s fav book- it‘s falling apart when you pick it up.
Savage is Numan‘s newest album, which by some modern day miracle got to Number 2 in the charts 😁

Cinfhen Awesome that he's still making music and the public is still buying it ❤️👍🏻 7y
