Jonesy's Jukebox 6th March 2006 Guest: Rosanna Arquette

Steve: Have you heard that we're not gonna go to the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame?

Rosanna: No. That's absurd.

Steve: No, We're going 'in'.

Rosanna: Oh, okay. Oh, you're not gonna go 'cause it's so...okay not going to show up for...to do it.

Steve: We're being punk rockers, yeah.

Rosanna: Oh, I love that, okay.

Steve: Are you for that?

Rosanna: I think it's, it's the perfect thing to do, for you guys.

Steve: Yeah.

Rosanna: Is it because you won't speak to each other? Do you not speak...

Steve: No, it's...

Rosanna: Are you and Johnny not speaking anymore?

Steve: No, we're speaking. I think he's coming on here, Friday.

Rosanna: Oh, is he?

Steve: Yeah.

Rosanna: That's cool.

Steve: No, I think it's more...

Rosanna: You guys are grown-ups now, you can get past all that.

Steve: Well, I wouldn't go that far. I think it's more because we don't believe what it stands for. You know, various...you know the tickets is one thing. That's just a small part of why it's...if you look deeper into it, it really isn't a...

Rosanna: Is it lame?

Steve: If they had given you medical, or something, I could understand...or like, movies, when you get an Oscar, it ups your price, your ante, you know? But nothing, you don't really get much out of it. It's just validation for...

Rosanna: For the work that you've done. But it's your contribution to music and all the music that you...

Steve: Yeah, but everyone likes it anyway. We don't need...

Rosanna: I think it's cool to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, for the Sex Pistols to be there. I think it's a nice honor. And I think it's cool that you're not showing up. But I think it's cool that you're in there.

Steve: You're basically, you're saying we get the best of both worlds. We maintain integrity, and we still get in there.

Rosanna: Yeah, I like it. Who's...are you going to have somebody pick it up for you, or like, have a speech, or send somebody?

Steve: I don't know. They asked a couple of people. Flea and Anthony from the Chili Peppers were going to accept the thing, but when they found out we weren't going, they declined. So, I don't know.

Rosanna: So this just happened because you talked with Johnny and he said, "I don't wanna go" and you just both decided?

Steve: Basically.

Rosanna: Yeah.

Steve: Yeah.

Rosanna: All right.

Steve: Basically.

Rosanna: You could always just change your mind, though and just do something really...

Steve: Maybe we should all go now.

Rosanna: I wanna go. I think it will be fun to see you guys, especially if you did something...

Steve: I'm only going if Miles Davis is going.

Rosanna: But you have to play...he's dead.

Steve: I know...

Rosanna: So forget it. But I mean really, they want you to play.

Steve: I don't know what they want. I guess they wanted us to play.

Rosanna: Yeah, I'd pay to see that. A lot of people would.
