Alan McGeeAlan McGee has gone further than refusing to apologise for his comments regarding the fact he found the Sony/PIAS fire as "funny": he has described the attention his comments has provoked as "wet liberal bullshit."

Writing on the Huffington Post, McGee said:

"I managed to go from being a relatively unknown retired British rock'n'roll manager to some kind of enfant terrible and straight on to Australia's front pages. All in five days. I am told I trended on twitter worldwide which was funny as most people thought I had died, and others just wished I had."

he added:

"All I can say is my ''crime'' didn't include criticism of people's sexuality, race or religion. I just thought a load of shit music getting destroyed was doing the world a favour! So there is no apology and there is no retraction. In truth, Sony and PIAS will be insured for every single unit at cost and so will get their money back on a load of CDs which were never going to sell anyway! It is all wet liberal bullshit basically. Anyway that was Australia..."
