No Rock And Roll Fun

DARKNESS BRINGS ITS OWN REWARD: The Darkness have won some Kerrang awards, scooping up Best Album and Best Live Act titles. Funeral For A Friend were judged to be the Best New Act. Feeder took Bravest Soldiers, Bless Them ("Best British Act") and Metallica were given some sort of prize for still being around at a time when most people have actually turned from rock to music that someone might want to listen to. Chilli Peppers got classic songwriters and in a desperate bid to try and shore up interest in a declining market, the magazine invented a category so they could give Jackass a prize ("the spirit of rock" award, apparently.)
