Not a traditional biography as such, ´´John Lydon - Stories of Johnny - A Compendium of Thoughts on the Icon of an Era´´ contains a series of stand alone essays written by the cream of rock music´s writers and commentators. A book which can be either dipped in and out of or read cover to cover, and which both tells the man´s story and gets behind what he was - and indeed is - all really about; this work could well be the final word on Lydon and a fitting tribute to an underdog of sorts who became the anti-hero to millions.
