Yeh yeh yeh, heard all this before yarn!! Why do you think he denies all this so strongly?!! Cash - that?s why, he's worried he will loose valuable deals such as Dairy Crest - and so he should.
I have friends who work in the music business who were at the festival in Spain who reported this incident back home before it hit the press. What they told me is the same story repeated by everyone apart from Lydon.
I too am gutted that a former hero of mine has turned out like this and admit that his past works seem to create a character who would not have been a part in this.
I feel however that on this occasion his all too big ego and self importance got the better of him and his just too up himself to admit it or apologise, even if it was on behalf of one of his halfwit racist mates.
