All these comments still going on about whether he is good or not, or right or not, and people commenting who didn't even go... I went, I was there in the field, with however many tens of thousands there were there, all of us dubious to start, but by the end, every single person I passed and talked to afterwards all agreed that it was one of the best shows of the whole event. I was doubtful about going, but he just pulled something amazingly special out the bag. I am not usually into hip hop, rap and all that jazz, but he just blew everyone away that gave him a chance. Glastonbury is one of the biggest festivals in the world because it is all inclusive, something for everyone. Manu Chao isn't "traditional Glastonbury", the Smiths weren't at the time, but they are all great musically. Glasto is progressing, for all the right reasons, and in all the right ways. Jay Z was given a chance, and pulled off something outstanding. Watch on your tv and criticise with a dubious mind, or just let go and just accept that music is music is music. And Glastonbury is music.
