As Franz Ferdinand say "We wanted to know what drives a certain kind of person to abuse themselves with drink and drugs - and who better to write about this than the legendary Nick Kent?"
He's still not got over Sid Vicious hitting him, though:
I had the dubious pleasure of knowing Vicious and can verify that indeed he was one of the most self-destructive individuals ever to walk the face of this planet. He was also clueless, devoid of a fully formed personality and a borderline psychopath. When Malcolm MacLaren invited him to join the Sex Pistols, it was like giving a retarded teenager a gun and involving him in a bank robbery. There were bound to be bloody victims. Vicious soon demonstrated he had no musical talent whatsoever but that has never mattered to his followers, who wrong-headedly perceive his thirst for pain and mayhem-making as the definitive badge of punk purity.
