The spirit lives on

[soothsayer]

In the true spirit of punk rock, The Sex pistols turn down the rock n roll hall of fame. I say - good move Johnny. Fuck corporate assholes and their feeble attempt to come off as knowing what's good - they know nothing of the sort. More info on story here

I personally think hes an idiot for doing this. Supposedly the sex pistols were so anti-estalishment... but they did everything to get into the limelight. They allowed a movie to be made about their most infamous member... thats right next to allowing their music to be put into a commercial for paper towels in some circles discussing "sell-out". Now they are given the chance to show the message they so yearned to get out into the world forever next to other leaders and movement makers. What does he do? Pisses on them.

Not a smart move in my opinion

See... they didn't say they didn't want the honor... they only said they would not show up at the ceremony... Same as always... Jonny being an asshole to get attention while screaming "Don't look at me."

your only a sell out if you change your music to get to the top or money. the objective for all musicians is to be recognized, its just most change there style to do so, sex pistols didnt, so they wouldnt have "sold out" by going to a ceremony to celebrate there music. i agree it was a dumb move.

Hmm.. I agree with you for once. John Lyndon, Malcolm McClaren, et al were just attention whores and marketing bullshitters... I liked some of PIL's stuff... but I never liked Lydon.
