May 26th "The Manics had specifically been asked not to swear and, therefore, not to sing anything with lyrics such as ‘Repeat after me/Fuck queen and country’. With delicious inevitability, Nicky Wire took the stage and launched an unprovoked - and patently unbroadcastable - attack on Charterhouse and Slowdive, while James Dean Bradfield announced, ‘This is for our dear queenie’, before barking iut the opening of ‘Repeat’. Within seconds, a full can of Coca-Cola struck him on the head, perhaps thrown by an outraged monarchist (one rumour suggested it was a member of Blur), or possibly by an exasperated BBC producer."
