And I Don't Want to Live This Life: A Mother's Story of Her Daughter's Murder | Deborah Spungen

#bookmoods #aboutaddiction

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.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Perfect 💗🖤 2y

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

mrp27 @TrishB So interesting! (edited) 2y

Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol | Steve Jones

A different pov from another sex pistol.
Steve is good at telling us his story and bringing us along for a wild ride.

TrishB Those shelves look like my hubby‘s! 2y

BookishRedhead @TrishB two shelves are double stacked with music books haha. 2y

TrishB Yes, he has a whole bookcase double stacked! In no order…. 2y

BookishRedhead @TrishB I try to stack the band members together but sometimes someone doesn't quiet fit 2y

TrishB I do that for him sometimes as it drives me a bit bonkers! And the bookcase is in the bedroom. There is no way he‘d allow his vinyl to be that mismanaged! 2y

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it. Some will be old, some will be new - don't judge me, I have a lot of books.

Day 8th

Join the fun if you want!

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

Anger Is an Energy: My Life Uncensored | John Lydon

bailed

It is rare that I quit reading a book. I usually feel some weird pressure to stick with every book I start. I just do. Well, I‘m on page 277 of 560 and reading this feels like a chore, I‘m forcing myself to read on. The thing is I really liked the beginning of this. But now it is droning on... I feel like he keeps saying/doing the same things over & over. Dude change! Learn from your crap. The lesson I‘ve learned-I‘m over it & I‘m moving on.

TrishB Hubby and I had this discussion over this book! I thought it was boring..... 6y

Christinak @TrishB I‘m going to try to listen to Spotify‘s new podcast on my evening walks Stay Free: The Story of The Clash. Narrated by Public Enemy‘s Chuck D. https://open.spotify.com/show/51evn6HmX9KhCwJA2MAuYx?nd=1 6y

TrishB I‘ll tell hubby about that thanks 👍🏻 6y

Anarchy in the UK: The Angry Brigade | Tom Vague

Cinfhen, Lizpixie

Cinfhen Cool info!! Thanks for sharing!! I needed some inspiration for today😬🙄😁 6y

Lizpixie @EadieB @Cinfhen I‘m really enjoying these nuggets of info every day. Sex Pistols played a very important role in music & English history, without them there would never have been a Nirvana, a Green Day etc. Cindy, there‘s been plenty of anarchist plots in the UK over the years. The whole Middle Ages was full of unrest then you have the problems with Scotland, Ireland & the outer reaches of the empire like India, Hong Kong & the Falklands.⚔️🇬🇧 6y

EadieB @Lizpixie @cinfhen I enjoy posting them too. Learning a lot about the different groups. Google is my friend!🎼🎧🎤🎹 (edited) 6y
