Lydon on Brit Music Awards

As previously reported on MusicFilter, John Lydon had this to say in response to the Brit Music Awards request for the Pistols to play and recieve a lifetime achievement award.

“I don’t wanna know. And yet again, I can tell you this, they haven’t approached us! Exactly the same scenario, they think they can just come along and use us. We’re not a prop. We were never anyone’s prop, right! I never did this for awards, and never will. I go along with what people vote. And that’s corporate, so not interested. If they find themselves in a dull arse predicament, it’s because they didn’t listen in the first place. All they had to be was honest. They’re just trying to gleam some kind of creditability, but through the back door! And unlike them, Johnny Rotten ain’t no backdoor Johnny! (laughs) The British Music awards, they’ve depended on arseholes for so long, and now the only person they can really blame for getting the music industry into a state of arseholes is themselves. It’s too late to come back here and go, “Oh, help us out.” They’re wasting their own time, and they’ve been doing that for a long time! (laughs) If they’re a lame duck it’s not our fault. Sorry, if you think your country is a lame duck, don’t come back to me, I told you this a long time ago. (laughs) I actually wrote something that meant something, and had a serious effect on society as a whole, and way people viewed things. That’s a lifetime achievement unlike any other pop band; and it’s not down to trivia. It just isn’t. So I’m not interested. Just not interested.”
