Actually, it says "Dedicated to my children Emma and Minta and to the 
Sex Pistols".  Not that this contradicts your point, unless Pete had 
a much closer relationship with the Sex Pistols than was previously 
thought.
All other things aside, if I were Emma or Minta I'd be a bit ticked 
about dear old dad not being able to dedicate a song to me and my 
sister without including a bunch of non-relatives as well, but that's 
just me.

I'm surprised that no one else has mentioned that the entire "Empty 
Glass" album is dedicated to Pete's wife, Karen.  I think it would be 
in VERY poor taste to dedicate your big coming out album to your wife 
("Hope this album makes up for the fact that our entire marriage has 
been a sham!"), but again, that's just me.

Oh, and I quite agree with Joseph that "Empty Glass" is a fine album, 
no matter what the songs really mean or who (or perhaps WHAT, see 
below) they are dedicated to.

Hey now, that horse was a symbol!  A metaphor!  All the other writers 
do it!  But oh no, when Pete tries to make use of a common literary 
technique, everyone thinks he's got a thing for Mr. Ed.  Really!  Now,
 Lambchop maybe I could see.
