“Imagine entering the world of The crown and Downton Abbey with his friends and shouting his songs and his fury over everything they stand for, ”said Danny Boyle in a press release. “This is the moment when British society and culture have changed forever. It is the detonation point of British street culture … where ordinary young people had the stage and vented their fury and fashion … and everyone had to watch and listen … and everyone feared or followed them. The Sex Pistols. At its center was a charming, illiterate young kleptomaniac – a hero for the time – Steve Jones, who became, in his own words, the 94th greatest guitarist of all time. That’s how he got there. “
