He's not a singer and doesn't claim to be, it was actually a reference to the gay marriage bill that has been passed in the US and how it signifies progress.
No, he just claims to be better than Leonardo Da Vinci, the greatest rock star of all time and considers himself a God.
No need for the Leonardo bit Uni boy, no need at all. Da Vinci is more than acceptable...
I put the whole thing to see how Castro would respond.
Most music festivals in Britain have gone the same way as English football; that is, betraying their roots and being commercialised. Football in England is no longer the game of the working-class with ticket prices soaring and the people who organise Glastonbury can't claim with a straight face anymore that it is counterculture and revolutionary when the tickets are over £200, not to mention the price of concessions. Most music festivals in Britain just attract 'right-on' middle-class white kids. Austerity can't be that bad for them, eh?
'Greatest living rockstar' actually!
Whilst I don't particularly agree with him, he does embody a lot of what a rock star should be, in fact there's not many others that do, most artist these days are either manufactured nonsense, middle class white people with guitars, a haircut and nothing to say or old folk who are dining out the music they wrote decades ago.
People in the industry have acknowledged that the festival craze has peaked, there are too many festivals now, the prices are too high and the novelty to todays average festival goer is starting to wear off.
I first went to a festival (Leeds) at 14, in the 11 years that followed I've been to at least one a year, some major ones and some smaller independent ones, it is staggering how the demographic, popularity and prices have changed in that short time.
I've dabbled with hip hop, I own albums by A Tribe Called Quest, The Pharcyde, De La Soul, Mos Def, Wu Tang - the problem for me is that with hip hop, no matter who it is, you're always just a few lines of vocals away from someone talking about -
Touching their dick
Making 'Gs'
Smoking weed
Bouncin' bootys
Or all of the above. I fail to see how regular droppings of 'bitches', 'hos' and '***gots' is still accepted by the discerning listener.
And I find that this is also the case with the more underground, supposedly less dumb ones.
It's a genre infested with things that make me cringe.

I hated The Libertines. Never got them at all. Watched a bit of them at Glasto. Still don't get it.
I love them with intensity.
The fact he performed tonight after seemingly pissing his pants was fantastic.
I'm afraid they're a band beyond the comprehension of most. It was shambolic and brilliant tonight.
