Also ... Springsteen made the freakin' inspired decision to kick off his Glasto set with a solo version of the late Joe Strummer's 'Coma Girl' (a song inspired by Glastonbury).
It's probably the only time he'll ever play that song. And the BBC kicked off its coverage with the second song.
Jesus wept.
Yeh I'd have loved to have seen that. Also want Lily Allen's 'Smile' starting off as a reggae groove and morphing into the drum & bass version.
And all of Dizzee Rascal's set. Pleaassseee...

I wouldn't do that to you! I'll take the file off later today.
*coughs*
After work...

"Frilly panty style". If only there was a Sentence of the Year, this would've just aced it.
Good blog and wonderful roller photo's my man.

Right. so the pill prescribing doc to the man with notoriously dodgy associates has gone missing. This is all starting to make a lot more sense...

Always loved the Shinehead dancehall version of Billy Jean myself.

Swells on Wayne Rooney:
"Look at his eyes! Have you ever seen deader eyes? Even on a dead person? Even on, like, a dead person with no eyes? They say that the eyes are the windows of the soul - but looking into Wayne Rooney's reptilian pits is like staring into Nietzsche's abyss. There is no humanity there, or compassion. There's only the message, beamed loud and clear: "I outlived the dinosaurs and I will outlive your kind too, human. And my offspring will lay their eggs in your children's flesh-stripped bones. Now come a bit nearer the water's edge so I can bite yer frickin' legs off."
Sheer class

Adding to Tom's list, for those who remember the NME in its glory years: Steven Wells. Sadly, I doubt a Jackson/Wells encounter ever took place.
Aaargh, never knew that. Totally gutted :( I grew up on Swells and the NME. He did the best letters pages ever. Weird day.

It's a good reminder that men in their 40s and 50s are more likely to just hit the floor with a heart attack. Females have a much higher rate of survivability for some reason. It's a very mundane death for an extraordinary guy.

Yeah, I definitely suggest you don't read those particular pages of Pepys' blog though. Christ.
Word up. It was agony reading about the (17th century) op in Vol2 of the Neal Stephenson trilogy. I think I might've settled for death :)

It was a bit freaky, I'd had a few beers and watched the late night sports show for dickheads on TV3 and then checked Twitter. "Bloody hell, Russ is in A&E" I said to Jo.
Brought home the immediacy of Twitter and the faux closeness of being in touch like that. Much like this morning's events have as well.
Anyway, get well soon and be cheered that you're in the good company of Samuel Pepys. He was cut for the stone in 1664 and probably only had a few fortified wines to get him through!
