We saw this band in 1978 when they performed in San Antonio. During the
concert Sid Vicious called the crowd "a bunch of faggots", before striking
an audience member across the head with his bass guitar. Nice! For this the
audience pelted the band with beer cans and beer bottles and called Sid a
bloody "limey" and yelled "go home". Go figure.

"The Sex Pistols were an English punk rock band that formed in London in
1975. They were responsible for initiating the punk movement in the United
Kingdom and inspiring many later punk and alternative rock musicians.
Although their original career lasted just two-and-a-half years and
produced only four singles and one studio album,

Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, they are regarded as one
of the most influential acts in the history of popular music. Their 1977
single "God Save the Queen," attacking social conformity and deference to
the Crown, precipitated the "last and greatest outbreak of pop-based moral
pandemonium. Rolling Stone Magazine ranked the Sex Pistols No. 58 on its
list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time."
