Posted April 16, 200619 yr Lifetime Brit award not for Johnny from yahoo.news Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon says that the organisers of the Brit Awards are "wasting their time" if they want to award the legendary punk rockers a life-time achievement award. Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, said he is not a fan of the "all corporate" Brit Awards after organisers revealed they were considering honouring the group to bring a bit of excitement to next year's ceremony. He said: "I don't want to know. They're wasting their time and they've been doing that for a long time. They think they can just come along and use us. "We're not a prop. We were never anyone's prop. They're just trying to glean some credibility. "I wrote something that meant something and had a serious effect on society." The move follows the Sex Pistols refusal to attend the band's induction into the US Rock 'N' Roll Hall Of Fame.
April 17, 200619 yr Good on him, he IS the real deal, you get no $h!t from Mr Lydon Take your word for it :P
April 18, 200619 yr He probably cant find the time to attend , having to run his property dealing business. He's as corporate as any of them, hes a hypocrit imo.

And what the fukk does that actually have to do with the music??? He aint selling out his art, so to me that's the main thing. Whether or not he has a property dealing business is neither here nor there, if he was criticising Estate Agents then he'd be a hypocrite...
April 18, 200619 yr true scott, i think once again that peoples opinion of him has been tainted by their percieved image and not what lydon actually says.

And also, not everyone involved in the property business is automatically a b/astard - me and my girlfriend have got a pretty cool Landlady who could probably rent out our flat for a hell of a lot more than what we're paying for it, but she's actually more of a friend of ours and a fellow old-Goth.... :lol: :lol: and there are those who run Housing Co-Operatives, etc.....
April 18, 200619 yr the telly is full of those programmes where some geezer buys a house, renovates it, sells it on at a profit... good clean business.. lydon is marmite ... love or hate, and as a fan i find criticism of him hard to take as i reckon hes spot on. i guess the haters would find it hard to find something good about him... dispite what the blokes achieved
