So, it was the Mojo Honours List awards in London last night, and here is the winners list. I hope you take a good long look at it, I had to cut and paste it from the awards website and it brought loads of logos and irrelevant copy with it which I have diligently removed for your convenience. That's your convenience, not mine. Frankly, it's a sign of how much we rate these awards that we went to the effort. Anyway, enough about me and my formatting, how about a quote from Mojo Chief Editor Phil Alexander? Here goes. "There are icons and there is Ozzy Osbourne. Long may he continue to reign". Which I guess gives away the winner of the Icon Award. Ah well, here's the full list. Well formatted, don't you think?
