Episode 33: SID AND NANCY Part One Star-Crossed Lovers

Sid and Nancy. They were the Romeo and Juliette of punk rock, star-crossed lovers, each despised and hated by the other's friends and family, bound together by fate and passion into a forlorn and doomed romance that would see them both dead in the prime of their youth.

Their relationship is the stuff of legend, of films, books, songs, and poems, a tumultuous and violent affair riddled with drugs and fighting, but an affair of deep love and unbridled passion nonetheless that would end in murder and a possible suicide.

Today we explore the childhood of these two ill-fated rockers, as well as the formation of the Sex Pistols and the roads that led to their forlorn meeting.

Ladies and gentlemen, we bring you the story of punk rock’s most infamous couple Sid and Nancy, Part One: The Star-Crossed Lovers.
