Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol Audiobook (Free)

Talk to anyone who knows about music and they’re going to let you know: without Steve Jones punk rock and roll would not exist. This is not hyperbole. No Steve Jones, no punk rock and roll. Period. The prototypical road urchin switched Sex Pistols guitarist was the only real inspiration and creator of the punk movement which began shaking the culture in late 1970’s London and is simply as strong today.

A pervasive air of gloom and coal smoke hangs over Jones’s memoir, LONELY BOY, which is set mostly in functioning class London of the 60s on the subject of Lonely Son: Tales from a Sex Pistol and 70s. For the very first time ever, he’ll illustrate an instant with time when the actions of a loose association of people became the full-fledged punk scene we know so well today. Legendary musician and trendsetter Malcolm McLaren required in the youthful Jones after noticing him hanging around the Sex store McLaren owned with his after that sweetheart, Vivienne Westwood, on Kings Street in Chelsea. By then, Jones was fundamentally homeless, stealing everything to aid himself and nothing his itch for fraud. he would regularly pop-in to McLaren’s legendary store. McLaren was so fascinated by Jones’s rough background, wardrobe choices, attitude toward expert, and his general aura, that he developed a cultural movement around it. Therefore, the Sex Pistols, and with them, punk rock and roll, was born.

Included in the audiobook will be nothing you’ve seen prior told stories of sexual misuse Steve suffered as a result of his step-father, stories of petty crime and acts of perversion he perpetrated as a boy in London, the sadness from never knowing his real father (and reaching him in a tale that bookends this narrative nicely), the early days as a Pistol, breaking into the music business, and the way the hell a band with one album intended a lot to so many people. Jones may also bring listeners up to date on his more recent exploits such as hosting a famous radio display on KROQ, Jonesy’s Jukebox, starting an acting career by playing Krull on Showtime’s CALIFORNICATION, his recovery for both sexual and element addictions, and his efforts to fall-in with the locks metal crowd of the Sunset Remove in the 1980s.

You might be asking why Steve has waited until now to create his memoir and also you wouldn’t be wrong in asking that. The truth is, I’m not sure we have an excellent answer. He just feels like now is the time, that a lot of of what he really wants to and will accomplish in his lifestyle has occurred and his current lifestyle lends itself to representation and posting. He hopes to achieve that with listeners around the world. There is also still a rigorous urge for food for punk rock everywhere you appear and he’d prefer to inform some teenagers on where it all started in the guy who influenced the whole scene.

No topic is off limits in this grimy, streetwise memoir.
