A Vicious Love Story: Remembering the Real Sid Vicious

2012

Synopsis

Teddie was 16 years old in 1977, when she was asked to be the translator for the Norway leg of The Sex Pistols Scandinavian tour. The book tells the inside story of the romance between Teddie and Sid Vicious. Instead of the self-destructive caricature of popular myth, Teddie reveals a troubled, vulnerable and generous young man. She gives a first-hand account of four young men at the eye of an international media storm, laboring under the sudden weight of expectation at the height of their fame. We are given a closer look into the dynamics between all the band members and their associates.
