You know what John Lydon is just a gameplayer. Really the only reason he is not going is because he's too cheap to pay for the seats. (the money goes to charity). That's my conclusion, he's hardly worth talking about and one album (that I love) doesn't give you this huge voice. Anyway the Sex Pistols were up for nomination a few years ago but weren't chosen at that time, soo? I mean I would want The Ramones or The Clash nominated anyday before The Sex Pistols and that's who ended up getting the nominations. I think John speaks for the rest of the band and it's not fair for them if they want to go. It's like he is keeping the image going a bit too long and that's what this is about. That whole Sex Pistols image was a bit of a farse anyway, supposedly John was a nice guy but opionated. He isn't this over the top character. It would be nice if he took the nomination and said something about what the Pistols did for music, rather than just keeping up the game. Anyway, I'm not giving him a pat on the back for staying the same.

The Sex Pistols were a sham, and I think that Johnny knows that. Nominating PIL would be a much more reasonable thing if the industry had an ounce of sense. The Sex Pistols were all flash and were one of the first acts to really refine sensationalism into an artform. For that alone they should receive some kind of award. Their music was shit, their talent was even more shit, and their legacy is total and complete shit. It is, however, brilliant in that regard. They ended up being 2 decades ahead of what has become of the music industry. I'd like to think that Lydon saw it coming, and that's what the Pistols were all about, but that might be giving him too much credit.
