I think Jay Z kinda missed the point about Noel's comment. Jay Z is fine to play at some music festivals but not Glastonbury, I'm thinking something like V which has a bit more of a broad appeal but its like inviting Girls Aloud to play at Download, it's an absolute joke. It's nothing to do about not respecting the genre, Jay Z is obviously up there at the top for what he does it's just that there's a place and a time for everthing (and headlining Glastonbury isn't it)and I think Eavis has got this one badly wrong and its the final nail in the coffin for glastonbury as we know it. They should have went down the sensible route of dedicating a stage or a stage for a day to hip hop or something but to randomly just stick him on the bill is plain stupid. Next year maybe they'll have the Spice Girls, N'Sync, Mcfly, Scouting for girls and Justin Timberlake & Timbaland all up on the main stage!! Thankfully the good people at Carling would never let this happen at Reading or Leeds.......I hope!!!
