Hang on a sec. Why doesn't he have the right to respond? As far as im aware Jay-Z hadnt made any previous comments on Noel's remarks. And i beleive it was tongue in cheek. You could tell that - well you could from where I was standing - maybe you didnt pick that up as YOU WATCHED IN ON FUCKING TELLY.Re the politics - well Glastonbury is a political event. The festival promotes environmental and human rights issues. The big screens between performers on the pyramid were constantly showing drop the debt and water aid campaigns. Thats politics dudes. Whether you like it or not. And Jay-Z's views on American politics are welcomed as far as i'm concerned. If you weren't affected by Hurricane Katrina, you have no soul. Simple as that. And whether you like it or not, American politics is important to us. You probably WATCHED IT ON THE FUCKING TELLY, cos you couldn't afford to go. America sneezes. We catch the cold. Watch the news. It's important.But the main thing is the show - which was excellent. Entertainment from start to finish. A lot of doubters had their minds changed. People around me were dancing like fuck. You don't go to any hip hop show to sing along to crowd pleasers. Why would you? Ever considered going to see Outkast and trying to keep up on the delivery of Ms Jackson. No chance. You go to DANCE. To shake your fucking ass. As i did. The Verve have the singalong Brit rock crowd-pleasers. Incidentally, I went to see them too, and sang my heart out. It is possible to do both you know.
