[Zoo Music Girl]

So he's playing with the Foos the day before the festival...

Fuck yes please

[FuzzyDunlop]

Now we are talking!

[A Guy Called Matt]

Go on then, lets have the man :-)

I will be entertained.

[russycarps]

should paedophiles really be playing the festival????

etc etc etc

I've never heard his name mentioned in that regard. Do you know something I don't? Or are you just guessing that because he was a famous musician at a certain time he must be a paedophile?

Perhaps he will play the JP stage and they will let Rolf out on day release for it.

you never heard the song Tiny Girls?? Or heard about his relationships with Lori and Sable?

[FuzzyDunlop]

Sable was allegdly "friendly" with quite a few people who have played the festival recently though

Neither. But you have given me something to research today, thank you.

Probably with John Peel too. Reading some things he said/did while in USA a while ago - what a disgusting man. Rename the bloody stage!

yep, bowie, jagger, half of led zep etc

it was a different world back then

[The Nal]

Yes please! Been 7 years now since he played.

67 and still sounds the biz

[neil999]

good lord...just shows you,do people do these things cos they know they can get away with them? not know they are wrong ? or because society was different?

[Zoo Music Girl]

Okay, I was expecting some backlash based on the car insurance ads but the paedo claims are new on me...

Anyway, seen him twice, once at V a million years ago and once at Get Loaded in London with the Stooges. Still a fucking incredible performer and the first thing that's got me excited this year. Trust Russy to piss on my chips.

If he played where would you put him?

Headlining Other surely? Or am I delusional? Subbing Pyramid? To Foos?

Headline other vs Taylor Swift

Headline Other. For sure. He's well able for that. I'd be there and I hate that stage

[Zoo Music Girl]

Cool, glad I'm not way out on the headline Other thing. Opposite Taylor = perfect

[The Nal]

He headlined The Other last time and gave the festival one of its all time great moments.

Heres the whole gig

sorry about that

I would like to think headlining other, but for some reason I think subbing pyramid in the nick cave slot is more likely.

Has the idiot been reissued or something? I'm sure I got an email about it from someone or other the other week,

[Osama Jim Laden]

Subbing on the pyramid sounds about right, could easily headline other, would love to see him again either way

[ryan.smith]

Sat listing to this full Glasto set at my desk. Right good.

[Fingerbobs]

This is very good news. Defo time he returned and to play his own stuff too. He could get Bowie in to play keyboards for him again.

[The Nal]

Hes said recently he has no plans to tour in the foreseeable future. So these may be one offs.

Also, the Foos should be supporting him!

Love this scene with him and Tom Waits

[Fingerbobs]

Ooh. And he could stroll up to the Crow's Nest to reprise his John Peel lecture. Then do a few acoustic nos. Maybe give us some golf and gardening tips. Can't wait.

[The_Amazing_Oblong]

Would love to see Iggy again.

As for the paedo stuff, you could apply that to a LOT of musicians back int he 70's and before. Try Elvis for a start. As ever though it is applying todays moral code on yesterday. What was deemed acceptable back then, even 'the norm', is no longer acceptable today. Doesn't mean we should go back and retrospectively judge or punish people. Hell where would you stop - Teachers beating kids, cops fabricating evidence, musicians shagging groupies, unbound racism.. The list would be endless.
