Jay-Z: 'Glastonbury controversy is ridiculous'

If Bob Marley or Jimmy Hendrix were alive today, would Noel Gallagher really have anything to say? I would dare him in this day and age, to come up with such a simplest comment to their faces. Is that as controversial as he can really get? Not everyone who has played at Glastonbury has held a guitar in their hand Noel; look back at the history of the festival. And if his ‘debate’ is about being a true ‘Brit’, well R.E.M, White Strips or Nona Hendryx to name a few, are not British. So, sit down, dry your eyes, break bread and get off your ego, id and the superego, super star trip. Peace Glastonbury lovers, one love.
