Sex pistol- Cave drawings

I saw this article in the telegraph and I felt it related to the first my first blog about album art the sex pistols are well known for their albums causing controversy and political statements making the in some way legends. However I never ever expected there doodles on a wall to be classed as a statement in history and classified as cave drawings. According to the telegraph “Dr John Schofield, of the Department of Archaeology at the University of York, said they are worthy of being preserved as heritage pieces and should be preserved despite being offensive and rude.”
The drawings were discovered on the walls of a flat the bands rented are similar to the drawings on a boy’s bathroom wall. However they are said to be very significant and have created more interest that the early beetles recordings. Researchers carried out an analysis of the crude graffiti and concluded that the flat with the drawings is to be considered as an important historical and archaeological site. The flat is rumored to be become a conventional heritage site with a blue plaque to mark its historical significance.
