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.

I am sure the money is a factor for him. And as dramatic as he is.... he's pretty much been that same in your face over the top dude (act or not). Really I think even if they gave them all tickets I'd be surprised if they had gone.

As far as him speacking for everyone I am not sure on that. Steve Jones is a DJ on a station here (not sure if his show is syndicated), where he may not come off in the same way Lydon does about it he also seems to be pulling away from the event. I haven't heard/seen any other interviews with Jones about it just waht he said on his show Jonesy's Jukebox. So, I don't know.

Wonder if Steve Jones will talk any more about it on tomorrows show since Lydon was just on Kimmel on Friday night? And BTW his show rocks!
