Manic Street Preacher = Godlike Genius
The Manics will be given the ‘Godlike Genius’ award at NME’s 2008 awards to take place in February at London’s O2 arena.
The award…
“honours those music icons that have shaped the music landscape over the years”.
In response Nicky Wire said…
It feels like the best one because the NME is what I grew up with and for all its faults it still means a lot to me.
[I love the for all its faults bit]
In the footsteps of Calzaghe’s award, another well-deserved recognition of Welsh endeavours…
By the way, for all Manics fans, get over to the Manics website, where they are giving away their ‘old school Christmas … the anti x-factor … actual fun’ Christmas single Ghost of Christmas.
