SEX PISTOLS Refuse To Attend ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME Induction Ceremony

February 24, 2006

MTV.com is reporting that the SEX PISTOLS, who were one of six acts announced as inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year (joining BLACK SABBATH, LYNYRD SKYNYRD and BLONDIE, among others),have posted a handwritten note on their web site, proclaiming their disdain for the Rock Hall and making it clear that, no, they will most certainly not be attending the March 13 induction ceremony in New York.

The note states (misspellings intact for maximum punk impact): "Next to the SEX PISTOLS, rock and roll and that Hall of Fame is a piss stain. Your museum, urine in wine. We're not coming. Fame at $25,000 if we paid for a table, or $15,000 to squeak up in the gallery, goes to a nonprofit organization selling us a load of old famous. Congradulations. If you voted for us, hope you noted your reasons. Your anonymous as judges, but your still music industry people. We're not coming. Your not paying attention."

According to the Hall's web site, artists are selected for induction first by a nominating committee "composed of rock and roll historians." The nominated artists are then listed on a ballot, which is sent to "an international voting body of about 700 rock experts."
