This was John Lydon's reponse when the Sex Pistols were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They won't be attending. Can't say as I blame him. Gotta love them!

Eh, I'm not impressed, but I'm not impressed overly by the Sex Pistols anyway. It's a very lazy form of punk just to hate everything and have that be that.
Much harder to turn anger into something productive. If the late Joe Strummer had written something like this, I could take it somewhat seriously. But John Lydon hasn't earned the right to have this regarded as anything other than the childish rantings of a second-rate talent.
I respect the Sex Pistols both for what they stood for, and what they achieved, or rather were among the first to do.
And the letter is pretty funny.
Haven't seen The Sound and The Fury, but do intend to. As soon as I've seen Sid & Nancy.
But I never could get my head (ears?) around their music. Like Chris said, The Clash were better.
(Jeez, is there no way to put a link tag in here?)
Yeah, just use <a> tags, as in
<a = "url">text</a>
[Re-doing my previous comment in a more click-friendly way thanks to Brian's prodding.]
Yeah, I get the crayon-scrawled note, though it can be a bit difficult to reconcile the image of Lydon hunched over a school desk knowing that he had recently been presented with the bit of good news of the forthcoming cash windfall of
their impending sell-out.
What it comes down to is that it's all about them, not their music, not the RnRHOF, etc.
[P.S. I thought I had the link working, but then when I posted it wasn't a link, so I had to delete that one and try again. a = "url" didn't work for me, nor did a url="url", so I went with a href="url", which I swear didn't work for me when I tried it before....]
Duh, you're right, forgot the "href". I thought it looked funny...
