He was Sid Vicious, aka John Simon Ritchie, who would have been 53 today if not for the needle and the damage that was done. He was a member of the Sex Pistols. A poster boy for punk rock.
And though not a founding member of the Pistols, Vicious was included when the Hall came calling in 2006. Not that the band, which was inducted with Black Sabbath, Lynrd Skynyrd and Blondie, thought much of the honor. In a message posted on their web page at the time they called the Hall "a piss stain" and defiantly declared: "Were not coming. Your not paying attention."
Those Pistols.
We're making a wild guess that Vicious might not have cared much for being included in today's Birthday Band lineup. And that's fine. Mother Maybelle can play bass.
