Most musicians, particularly those who have been around for 30 years, wouldn't let hate mail upset them. They probably wouldn't even read it. But John's anger is genuine. He wants me to record it, for posterity. "I really resent the presumption that I'm going there to play to right-wing Nazi jews," he tells me. "If Elvis-stupid-Costello wants to pull out of a gig in Israel because he's suddenly got this compassion for Palestinians, then good on him. But I have absolutely one rule, right? Until I see an Arab country, a Muslim country, with a democracy, I won't understand how anyone can have a problem with how they're treated."


he really used the word elvis f- king costello

Good for him!  I am now a Johnny Rotten fan.  G-d bless him for speaking the truth.

I dont get it, didn't he call right wing jews nazis???  I mean his statement about his alleged reasons for going to Israel presupposes that.

If that's the case, then I take back what I said about him.  I thought he was mocking what the Elvis Costello's in this world were saying.

I think he was using sarcasm/hyperbole against the boycotting musicians.
