Thinking the Sex Pistols would fall in line was a silly idea, but who would have thought getting Blonde to behave would prove as impossible a task?

Hosted in the grand ballroom of New York's Waldorf-Astoria, the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame's 2006 class was included last night, and what a fuss they made. The inductees included Lynyrd Skynyrd, Black Sabbath, Miles Davis, Blonde, and by now most infamously the Sex Pistols.

The Sex Pistols had hereto-now made no small spectacle of their distaste for the Rock Hall, describing the venue as "urine in wine" and finally expounding on the issue last week on "Jimmy Kimmel Live":

"They never bothered to correct the incredible fatal, bad mistakes about our legend and legacy in their museum and up until now, they've rejected our nomination for three years running, and now they want a piece of us," John Lydon, previously known as Johnny Rotten, explained, "Well, guess what? Kiss this!" As you might imagine, those last two words of Lydon's were indeed accompanied by a hand gesture.

While the Sex Pistols certainly didn't show last night, Blondie did--all current and former members. Frank Infante, Nigel Harrison, and Gary Valentine, three of the original members of the NY rock group left out of its lineup when Deborah Harry re-formed the band fifteen years on, were noticeably ignored by Harry on-stage. Then, with Blondie ready to perform, there was another showdown.


With Infante groaning loudly and making a scene on-stage, Harrison turned to the microphone, "It's messed up for us... we were part of it, too." The snubbed band members then walked off-stage, but not before Infante could lean into the mic for one final groan.
