Author:Jon Savage
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.
Stoned is not a cautionary tale it's a celebration and carries the hope that any self-respecting impassioned young 19-year-old of today would do the same
—— GuardianA sterling work of brutal youth and brash vulgarity... a heady mix of innocence and glamour, uppers and downers, flashiness and outrage, insouciance and deceit
—— Time OutA dazzling overview of early 60s London life, Stoned is vastly aided by the testimony of everyone from Pete Townshend to Jimmy Greaves
—— G MagazinesA fascinating and original perspective on that heady moment when a buttoned-up Britain finally lost its innocence and...youth culture was born
—— Mail on SundayThe most flash personality British pop ever had, the most anarchic and obsessive and imaginative hustler of all
—— Nick Cohn
