Sex Pistols to Hall of Fame: Up yours

The Sex Pistols have declined induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with their usual good manners.
"That hall of fame is a piss stain. Urine in wine," reads an official statement on JohnLydon.com. "We're not coming. We're not your monkey."
The legendary punk band, along with Black Sabbath, Blondie, Miles Davis, and others, will be inducted (in absentia) into the Hall of Fame on March 13.
After the 1977 release of Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, the band broke up. They reunited in 1996, 2002, and 2003 for brief tours.
When they were nominated for entry into the Hall of Fame in late November, guitarist Steve Jones said, "If I was 20, maybe I'd be upset, but it's all part of the game."
Susan Evans, the executive director of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, said she wasn't offended by their decision not to attend. "They are being the outrageous punksters they are, and that's rock 'n' roll."
