"the sex pistols were the worst thing ever to happen to rock and roll."

- cliff richard

looks like the sex pistols will not be attending the rock and roll hall of fame induction ceremony after all:

for years, the rock and roll hall of fame didn't deem the sex pistols, the revolutionary punk rock band, worthy of inclusion into its ranks. now that the sex pistols have gained entry into the club, they've decided the rock and roll hall of fame isn't worthy of their presence.

the group was finally picked late last year to join the hall, along with black sabbath, miles davis, lynyrd skynyrd and blondie, and induction ceremonies are scheduled for march 13 in new york city.

however, in a crude letter posted on its website friday morning, the group made it clear that they would not be attending.

when informed of the group's statement, susan evans, the executive director of the rock and roll hall of fame foundation, said: "they are being the outrageous punksters they are, and that's rock and roll."

the sex pistols had been eligible for the rock hall since 2001, but voters snubbed the groundbreaking punk rock band in favor of contemporaries like the clash and the ramones.

they broke up after just one album but left a lasting legacy in rock, as johnny rotten and the late sid vicious shocked the rock establishment with songs like god save the queen and pretty vacant.

woody guthrie - jesus christ

jesus christ was a man
who traveled through the land
a hard-working man and brave
he said to the rich
give your money to the poor
but they laid jesus christ in his grave

jesus was a man
a carpenter by hand
his followers true and brave
one dirty little coward
called judas iscariot
has laid jesus christ in his grave

he went to the preacher
he went to the sheriff
he told them all the same
sell all of your jewelry
and give it to the poor
and they laid jesus christ in his grave

when jesus come to town
all the working folks around
believed what he did say
but the bankers and the preachers
they nailed him on the cross
and they laid jesus christ in his grave

and the people held their breath
when they heard about his death
everybody wondered why
it was the big landlord
and the soldiers that they hired
to nail jesus christ in the sky

this song was written
in new york city
of rich man, preacher, and slave
if jesus was to preach
what he preached in galilee
they would lay poor jesus in his grave

"since i learned the truth in mecca, my dearest friends have come to include all kinds—some christians, jews, buddhists, hindus, agnostics, and even atheists! i have friends who are called capitalists, socialists, and communists! some of my friends are moderates, conservatives, extremists—some are even uncle toms! my friends today are black, brown, red, yellow and white!"

"at the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. it is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality."

from bsnews:

captain planet warned in an videotape aired monday that his eco-terrorist fighters are preparing new eco-attacks but offered the american people a truce on the condition that they begin "respecting the environment."

"americans must change their polluting ways or suffer the consequences," said planet. "we're planning more attacks, but will cancel these if americans all promise to start respecting the environment. the power is yours!"

the cartoon videotape, portions of which were aired on c.n.n., was the first from captain planet in 10 years, since his show "captain planet and the planeteers" was cancelled in may of 1996. it came only days after an eco-terrorist attack on a car dealership in seattle that destroyed 15 ford excursion s.u.v.s.

"either america stops driving sports utility vehicles peacefully," threatened planet, "or it will be engulfed in flames. which will it be america? the power is yours!"

according to c.n.n., captain planet became leader of the earth liberation front (e.l.f.) eco-terrorist group shortly after losing his cartoon show in 1996. since that time, he has boldly spear-headed several eco-attacks against america, including a spate of natural disasters which ravaged the united states in 2005. editors at c.n.n. said they could not comment on how they knew all these things.

captain planet said he decided to make a statement to the american people because he said president bush "wasn’t doing enough to save the earth from pollution."

"i offer the american people a truce," said planet. “stop polluting, stop littering, and start cleaning up pollution, and we’ll stop planning eco-attacks. the power is yours!"

the white house rejected the truce.

"the united states will continue to drive gas-guzzling s.u.v.s, despite captain planet’s threats," white house press secretary scott mcclellan said. "we do not negotiate with terrorists, eco or otherwise," mcclellan said. "we kill them, plain and simple."

the c.i.a. has authenticated the voice on the tape as that of captain planet, an agency official said. c.i.a. director porter goss vowed to capture and detain the eco-terrorist leader.

"captain planet will eventually be brought to justice," said goss. "however, it will not be easy, as he can retreat into the earth’s core at a moment’s notice."

u.s. counter-terror officials said tuesday they have seen no specific or credible intelligence to indicate another impending e.l.f. attack on the united states.

"the homeland security department has no plans to raise the national terror alert," spokesman russ knocke said. "captain planet doesn’t scare us. after all, he’s the gayest cartoon character of all time."

the e.l.f. leader is currently believed to be hiding on hope island, an uncharted, unpolluted tropical isle far from civilization.
