"London's Burning "is the story of punk rock as it happened,
stripped of hindsight and future legend, and laid bare. Here are
the Damned and the Adverts on tour, the Sex Pistols swearing
through their prime-time television debut, the Tom Robinson Band
conducting a club full of skinheads through the anthem "Glad to Be
Gay," rioting Rastas running through the carnage that closed the
Notting Hill Carnival, Sid Vicious arguing about which was David
Bowie's best song. At the same time, it is a personal story of a
confused but dedicated sixteen-year-old looking not just for kicks
and great music, but for a cultural revolution--and finding one in
his back yard.
