	Sid Vicious: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
		John Simon Ritchie (May 10, 1957 - February 2, 1979), better known as Sid Vicious, was an English punk rock musician and member of the Sex Pistols.
		Vicious, whose stage name was allegedly coined after his friend John Lydon's pet hamster, was born in London (his mother moved to the Spanish island of Ibiza where she made a living from selling drugs but later moved back and settled in London).
		Initially he was part of the Bromley Contingent, the group of followers and fans of the Sex Pistols that consituted the fashion avant garde of the early UK punk rock movement.

	Sid Vicious
		A particularly extreme example of the self-immolating celebrity -- and one of the first high-profile casualties of the punk era -- John Simon Ritchie a.k.a.
		It was here that John made the acquaintance of John Lydon while both were attending Hackney Technical College in 1974; it was also during this period that he initiated his own drug use and began to cultivate the destructive behavior that would earn him such notoriety in later years.
		Ultimately, John Ritchie dropped out of school and spent his time hanging around with the so-called "Bromley Contingent", a gang of disaffected youths that adopted the music and fashions of the emerging UK punk rock scene and maintained an orbit around the John Lydon (now "Johnny Rotten")-fronted band The Sex Pistols.

		There are some unusual songs here (including John quasi-rapping for one thing) and it will require you to approach it with an open mind, but after a couple of listens you somehow know it still makes sense as a Sykes record.
