he's supposed to have been so out of his face that his mumblings 
weren't clear, but he did refer to John as a "cokehead" and 
supposedly rolled his eyes when referring to him. he also had a go at 
MPH.
but I also heard that he was making remarks about how Peel never 
played his records. That's no great surprise - how many of the bands 
selected to play the Peel stage were ever aired on the show? OK, it's 
about new break through artists, I admit. OK, how many of the bands 
on the Peel stage this were are so goddamned awful that they'd never 
have been given airplay? Certainly struck me that they'd been 
selected largely by the usual record company affiliations that get 
bands festival slots - hardly in keeping with what you'd imagine a 
"Peel Stage" would be all about.
