And I Don't Want to Live This Life: A Mother's Story of Her Daughter's Murder | Deborah Spungen
3 posts | 21 read | 5 to read
For most of us, it was just another horrible headline. But for Deborah Spungen, the mother of Nancy, who was stabbed to death at the Chelsea Hotel, it was both a relief and a tragedy. Here is the incredible story of an infant who never stopped screaming, a toddler who attacked people, a teenager addicted to drugs, violence, and easy sex, a daughter completely out of control--who almost destroyed her parents' marriage and the happiness of the rest of her family. "Honest and moving...Her painful tale is engrossing." WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD From the Paperback edition.

I enjoyed a few songs by The Sex Pistols back in the day and the new Pistol show has got me thinking about this book I read when I was a young teenager. This is Nancy‘s mothers story about Nancy‘s life and addiction. I couldn‘t put it down, I was totally captivated by her story and Nancy‘s relationship and ultimate death at the hands of her boyfriend Sid Vicious.

TrishB I think it‘s one of punks unsolved mysteries. Many people think it wasn‘t Sid, but the police never looked any further. 2y

I‘ve loved this book for years. I highly recommend for anyone who is a fan of punk rock and pop culture. You get the story of Sid & Nancy from Nancy‘s mother‘s perspective. It‘s heart wrenching. I also HIGHLY recommend the movie Sid & Nancy - it‘s one of my all time favorites (doesn‘t hurt that it stars a young Gary Oldman 🥰) #music #biography
