THIS IS GORGEOUS, SIGNING OFF

Who'd have thought that it would be the Primals who were the band people were talking about as they dragged their cars from the bottom of the lake? Bobby's performance yesterday has split the audience in two: between those who thought it was a pity he screwed up a great set, and those who are wondering if there oughtn't be a law of some sort.

Contact music seems convinced that Bobby "angered" Glastonbury officials - "The KILL ALL HIPPIES star appeared to be intoxicated as he took to the event's Pyramid Stage". Gillespie? Intoxicated? Surely not.

Gillespie might have got away with it, if it hadn't been for yelling out "Did anyone come to see Kylie? Fuck you." Announcing the war on terror is a pretext for a police state is one thing, but to apparently launch an attack on the pop princess - when she was ill, dammit - is just too much.

We're not so sure Gillespie would have been having a pop at Kylie, though - they got on quite well during the Select feature a decade ago when they spent some time together talking about sexual experimentation - this was probably around the high water mark of the Primal's mainstream popularity and the furthest south Kylie went in trying to rebrand herself with mud-on-the-boots indie credibility. Certainly, today, somebody from the record company has been trying to make it clear that Bobby bears no malice towards Kylie. The poor sod was also charged with trying to spin the refusal to leave the stage into something positive, too:

"The whole evening was running late because one of the earlier bands had overrun. The crowd were chanting for more and Bobby wanted to stay on, but a stage manager said he had to finish."

Chanting for more or booing them off? It's unlikely we'll ever know for sure, but the opinions of people who were there don't seem to suggest that the audience was desperate to hear much more from Bob.
