This book is a comprehensive collection of his best pieces- from early work on The Clash, The Sex Pistols and David Bowie, to pieces on Suede, Blur and Nirvana. More than just a ragbag of journalism, it gives a sweeping and trenchant account of changing fashions in style and musical taste, and of the issues which pop music raises- youth, hatred, adrogyny, sexual experimentation, drugs, America, Englishness.
Jon Savage is the author of England's Dreaming- The Sex Pistols and Punk Rock, and co-created The Faber Book of Pop with Hanif Kureishi.
