Books - Dave Simpson - Sex Pistols - I Wanna Be Me

The Sex Pistols initiated punk in the U.K., but their music and influence are often overlooked. Journalist and author, Dave Simpson, puts it best when he says that they were no ordinary group.

I Wanna Be Me is an extraordinary tale of no ordinary band. It's a definitive history of the Sex Pistols, looks somewhat like a fanzine, and contains over 150 photos. Their legacy is immense, as Dave will tell in this podcast, the stories of so many other artists and bands who were directly influenced by them - live, even they they 'couldn't play'. This is the story of the true Punk band, entertaining, shocking, and anarchic - it's almost more shocking to reflect on how they were treated by the establishment and media during the two years and a half years of the height of their fame.
