Guitars roll downstream with a twang of finality, as trumpets sound the band’s exit with gusto...
...what some may see as the ultimate act of punk heresy, England's legendary Sex Pistols have been tapped for induction into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame.

"They're Australia's lion - and everyone knows that if you take out the top predator, things go bad," she says, as puppies roll in balls of golden fluff at her feet. "The outside world seems far more interested in the dingo than Australians are. Government puts so many millions into destroying this species but there's nothing on the other side, nothing going into preserving them...
