- To put it positively, even after all these years the Sex Pistols still haven't lost their spark. To put it not so nicely, even after all these years the Sex Pistols still haven't gotten over themselves. First they say that Green Day is an insult to punk music, then they bash the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Favorite Quote: "Next to the Sex Pistols, rock and roll and that hall of fame is a piss stain. Your museum. Urine in wine...Outside the shit-stream is a real Sex Pistol."
- Slate published a display of photographs labelled "Gay in America" that I find very poignant and touching.

Kate,
Thanks for linking to me-- I'm flattered. How'd you find me?
I wouldn't say that Green Day is an insul t to punk music, but I wouldn't say that they are punk music, either. They were, for a little while, and then they became something else. Punk as the Pistols knew it is long gone, and all that's left is the word.
Punk rock and Hot Topic cannot co-exist.
I believe I was perusing DC Blogs at the time. VERY true about hot topic - I'm thinking of my cousin in middle school who thinks he's a goth and lives at that store.
