This was such a poetic, inspired, and clever response to their pals, the New York Dolls.

Even though they're one of the bands that really caught my attention when I tuned into the genre, I don't post anything of theirs here for obvious reasons :)

I am unaware of these reasons, possibly trying to remain blissfully ignorant, and yet wanting the truth...

The cross-dressing thing.

Maybe they're not fags, IDK. I rarely look into the artists behind the art.

Oh, that.

We all did that back then. Chicks dug it.

I was gonna say that was how I met my wife, but I was in a 3 piece suit when I met her, so nevermind. That other thing was after...

Nice.

But I think this one's way more punker

The feud didn't end here!

Jonny Thunders followed up with this

...and incidentally, lady_nougat knew him; he tried to sell her his pants... but that's another story.

And his little pants were to small for her, alas..

Great song, great story!

Funny how small the world can be sometimes.

Digging the history lesson behind the exchange between the bands as well.

Little by little our elders die off, but we must still sing their songs to honour their memory until we all meet again in Valhalla!

The SP's were the biggest fux in the history of rock 'n roll, not limited to Johnny Rotten on stage not knowing the words to a song - no link. They sacked the bass player who wrote most of their material and employed Syd Viscous who could not play guitar, who murdered his girlfriend while the band was on tour in the US and then committed suicide.
