I didn't know that. Someone has to make a stand, I suppose...

I won't hold that against him though. I stood next to him on the terraces at White Hart Lane on many occasions back in the day. Top bloke all round!

Actually I think that jam is pretty tedious, so I can't get too worked up about his strop. My other impressions of him are pretty positive.

Refusing the jam was like going on Question Time and refusing to talk. If you don't like the format don't go on.

I tried with his book, but got fed up after a while. I realised that I could not care less what happened after Metal Box was, dare I say it, in the can, and he started to slag off the reader. I started reading Frank Skinner's book On The Road which is far more interesting.

If you want pretention have a read of of Jah's book - in some of the passages he goes so far up his arse you can see out of his mouth.

I watched part of the Sid Vicious programme on Sky last week and thought that the punk story has pretty much been told now - those who were in favour (me included) have heard everything that there is to hear, and those who were not are never going to care now. Jah was on there trying to re-cast Sid as a misunderstood man with hidden depths, but all I saw was the cartoon punk who, in the memorable words of Steve Jones, could not play a f------ note.

refused to do it too. Don't know if it's on YouTube, but see if you can find the footage, it's hilarious -- they all stood there grinning and waving instead.
