God bless the Sex Pistols. In response to their impending induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Pistols did what any well-heeled punk band would do in such a situation:

They told ’em to sod it all.

They called the Hall of Fame a “piss stain,” and claimed that they “aren’t [their] monkeys and so what?” It’s classic Johnny “Rotten” Lydon in the hand-scrawled note that appears on the band’s website: anti-industry, anti-establishment.

And I wouldn’t want it any other way.
