In the mid-seventies, the Sex Pistols, the most controversial rock-and-roll band ever, erupted out of London, offending everyone from members of Parliament to the rock establishment it sought to unseat. With its raw, anarchic sounds, air of mystery of sex and violence, outrageous behavior, and concerts that incessantly degenerated into near-riots, the band changed the rules of rock-and-roll perpetually. Add to that the early death of band member Sid Vicious, by heroin overdose, and you’ve got the entire ingredients for a legend.

In January 1978, the Sex Pistols came to the USA for a twelve-day tour, mostly of cities in the Deep South. 12 Days on the Road is an ordinary moment-by-moment re-creation of that wild adventure by Noel E. Monk, the Sex Pistols’ American tour manager, and veteran journalist Jimmy Guterman. Here’s a sensational, “explosive chapter in the history of rock” (Booklist) that may be also “a touching and fantastic tale of innocence and exploitation” (Kirkus Reviews).
