The bit about the flag comes from the Ian Brown song, Deep Pile Dreams off his album Unfinished Monkey Business. Pretty sure it's about Ian Brown being upset that the Stone Roses floundered and never managed to crack the US ("the one with the flag") because John Squire was (possibly) taking too many drugs ("A $50 bag") and it all went pear-shaped. The "cheap limousine" I think refers to Squire living the rock lifestyle on their final tour as (iirc) he travelled separately from the rest of the band.
Remember the first time I heard this song at Babyshambles at Brixton a while ago and though crikey that sounds familiar... heehee.
Doherty a big Roses fan I guess. (Seeing as he loves The Las and Oasis).
