	Jon Savage - Biography - AOL Music
		Savage has been writing about music since the '70s, when he started an early punk fanzine, London's Outrage.
		This qualifies Savage as one of the leading punk experts, but in fact he's pretty knowledgeable about many sectors of rock history, and his writing about music is constantly appearing in publications, although full-length volumes have been infrequent.
		Savage is interested in pop culture and fashion as well as music, and has written or contributed to several books which focus on those topics rather than music.

	The Armchair Empire - Interview: Jon Shiring, Savage Post Mortem Q&A
		We talk with Jon Shiring of S2 Games, a small development house by anyone's standards, about Savage's inception, what weapons didn't make the cut, balancing gameplay, the mod community, the possibility of more voice communication, problems during development, the chance of a console port, and gaining penetration at retail, among so many other topics.
		Savage has a lot of depth, you actually get some help figuring it out because the team wants you to catch on and learn how to play so they can win.
		Well first we're going to keep working on Savage and working on the additional content, new features, models, optimizations, etc. After that, we're not saying what we're working on yet, but it will be related to where we've had our success so far.

		Savage uses a rope attached to the base of the canon to maneuver the entire weapon into position, while Jon opts to simply spin the wheel that just redirects the aim of the canon barrel.
		Savage and Tijuana very audibly discuss how Shawn is “done”, prompting Jon to try and counteract the effect the smack might be having by declaring to Shawn that this competition was “made for him”.
		Jon nods in agreement assuming she is talking about him, while Sandra realizes Trish is referring to Rupert and does not look pleased with the direction this discussion is heading in.

		Savage interviewed punk, New Wave and electronic music artists for "Sounds" until 1979, when he moved to "Melody Maker", and then in 1980 to the newly founded pop culture magazine The Face.
		His narrative is filled with pithy insights that keep their appropriate punch even when wallowing in verbosity (``The very English phlegm which had served as a powerful psychological metaphor for denial...was now, literally, expelled in torrents as...Punk audiences covered their object of desire with sheets of saliva'').

	God Save The Sex Pistols - Glen Matlock
		The ludicrous image of rock’s very own Stan Ogden grappling with a 2B pencil, pontificating on the painterly qualities of Sutherland yet still managing to cop a load of that new Deb in foundations knockers was ridiculous.
		Jon Savage has cast himself as the A.J.P. Taylor of Punk Rock, and very nearly succeeds in his mission.
		The Politick does get a bit tedious and confusing, but once Savage has convinced us he’s got the heavy stuff down pat we start to roll with something approaching a reasonable momentum.

		Written by Jon Savage, a perfect punk-rock historian's name if I ever heard one, the book's fervent passion never overrides its clear and precise look at the characters the music scene created and sometimes consumed.
		He has claimed continually to virtually anyone willing to listen, including Jon Savage, that this was the entire point of the Sex Pistols, adding "I wanted to steal back from the music industry what it had stolen from rock and roll."
		In Savage's work Vicious is really the far-too-briefly living image of that dichotomy.

	BookkooB : England's Dreaming - Jon Savage : Compare Book Prices
		Savage tells the tale of English punk (with some reference to what was happening in the USA, but as the title says, this is _England's_ Dreaming), starting from the backgrounds of those involved, through to the end of the 70's, after the collapse of the Sex Pistols and the death of Sid Vicious.
		As you might guess from the title (which is of course from a line in the Sex Pistols' "God Save The Queen"), it is the Sex Pistols that are the primary focus of all this.
		I'm not sure exactly what Jon Savage was doing at this time, but he was certainly there and involved.

		Savage uses the band the Sex Pistols as the core of this definitive history of the punk rock and pop culture movements of the 1970s.
		Savage tries to elevate it to the same level of significance (as far as social change is concerned).
		Jon Savage is so much like Malcolm Mclaren it becomes an egotistical set of Opinions rather than a Well rounded tome.

		With much difficulty, Savage walks the line between a definitive written history of punk and a messy collection of pseudo-sociological essays (of the type John Lydon warns in his own collected reminiscings of the same period).
		For all of Savage's excrutiating attention to detail and accuracy, he completely misses the human story behind the punk movement.
		The advent of punk was clearly a liberating event for Jon, and he recreates the period with great panache.

	Teenage - Jon Savage - Penguin Group (USA)
		Teenagers—as we have come to define them—were not, award-winning author Jon Savage tells us, born in the 1950s of rockers and Beatniks, when most histories would begin.
		From Peter Pan to Oscar Wilde, Anne Frank to the Wizard of Oz, Savage documents youth culture’s development as a commodity and an industry from the turn of the last century to its current driving force in the global economy.

		In ENGLAND'S DREAMING, John Savage's brilliant, analytical study of the music and the forces that created it, he sees punk as a reaction against both the excess and bombast of much of 1970's rock & roll and the prevailing mood of the time, with its incessant industrial strife, racism, and inklings of Fascism.
		He paints a vivid picture of a musical and social movement, its fashions, its triumphs, and its tragedies, with an immediacy born of intimate knowledge of, and empathy with, his subject.
		Savage's critically acclaimed social history of the punk band the Sex Pistols and 1970's England is a searing and disturbingly familiar study of a country suffering from a stagnant economy, a disgruntled work force, and youthful rage.

		Jon Savage is right, there was some great and under-appreciated music made at the end of the 60's and into the early 70's.
		I bought this on the back of some rave reviews in the music press and knowing a few of the tracks, but found it dull and samey.
		I think there may have been an element of Emperor's new clothes about the reviews - this was compiled by legendary rock writer Jon Savage and I suspect none of his fellow journos could bring themselves to admit he had come up with a bit of a duffer.

		As a punk rocker, Jon Savage sneered at hippie music, now he's compiled this collection of overlooked gems from 1970.
		Contrary to received opinion, the cusp of the 1960s and 1970s was not a musical wasteland, there were many gems among the dross.
		It captured the moment when the positive influence of 1967 reached its peak, despite the fact that it was a period of wasteful overproduction, just before the first great petrochemical scare of 1972-3.

	Shadows of Love: Jon Savage's Intense Tamla 1966-1968 - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Compiled by the celebrated British music critic Jon Savage, whose passionate liner notes are alone worth the price of admission, this 20-song set focuses on a monumental three-year span that represents a seismic shift not only in Motown's creative sensibilities but in American culture as a whole.
		Hits like the Supremes' "Reflections," the Temptations' "I Wish It Would Rain," and the Four Tops' "Standing in the Shadows of Love" capture, with uncommon eloquence, the disillusionment and hopelessness reaching a boil across the fl community -- declaring once and for all an end to the puppy-love sentiments of Motown's earlier hits.
		Savage's thoughtful sequencing doesn't make these familiar songs new again, but their cumulative power still astounds.

		In greater detail, Savage's intellectual critique of an unforgettable era that changed society and music forever, primarily deals with the Sex Pistols in London, but also tells of other bands that formed right on their heels, like the Damned, the Clash, and the Buzzcocks.
		Every imaginable resource is tapped in order to form a highly critical account of the forces that caused this phenomenon to occur and grow.
		Likewise, Savage tells about the zines that were started, like "Sniffing Glue", which embodied the whole DIY element that was such a prominent part of punk.
