Following his very public rejection of the Sex Pistols’ admittance to the Rock and Roll Hall earlier this year, Johnny Rotten had little more warmth for accolades from his homeland. The Brit Awards were looking to award the Pistols with a lifetime-achievement award, but Rotten was less than grateful: “They thing 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.”http://www.gigwise.com/news.asp?contentid=15906
