About the Author:
"With likeable digressiveness, Silverton chases down etymologies, charts changing standards of taste . . . The chapters on swearing in pop music, and on racist epithets are particularly good." —Guardian
Peter Silverton has been a journalist for 30 years. He started as features editor at Sounds in 1976, covered punk, went on the Anarchy tour bus with the Sex Pistols and Clash, and later wrote Glen Matlock's autobiography, I Was A Teenage Sex Pistol. He has also worked as an editor at the Guardian, the Mail on Sunday, the Sunday Express, and Time Out.
Review:
"Enormously enjoyable. . . . Every page offers curious facts and ideas and one is left with amazement at the vast profane creativity at work in the unique human project of language." —Observer
