[kj] Legion D'Honneur etc etc (Semi-OT)

[Jim Harper]

I'm always glad when my musical heroes are given awards like that. Obviously, if they wish to refuse it, that's their choice and it's fine, but I'm glad both Jaz and Nicola were singled out for such honours.

 Just looking at the list of
 medal-holders. Apparently two years after Jaz got his, my
 favourite French singer was offered the same award but
 refused, but it's awarded by the President, Sarkozy at
 the time, whom he despised.
 
 He's
 not remotely punk-y, but that sounds more like an
 iconoclastic Killing Joke-type thing to do. But then, Jaz
 wasn't getting the award for Killing Joke:)
