"Some fucking hippie robbed all my ale"

Exisistensminimum verkar ha gjort albumet som Primal Scream skulle ha kunnat göra(jag tänker försenad uppföljare till Vanishing Point) om de fortfarande skulle ha någon form av inspiriation. Då hade vi sluppit både pekoralet Beautiful Future från i somras och ett nytt namn att hålla reda på.

Om man slår på Primal Screams sångare Bobby Gillespie på Wikipedia dyker för övrigt följande fantastiska episod upp.

Primal Scream were drafted at the last minute to play The Glastonbury Festival in 2005, as one of the replacements for Kylie Minogue. During the set Gillespie was abusive, making various gestures including a Nazi salute and referred to the crowd as "a bunch of fucking hippies". He also declared that if the crowd wanted to see The Stone Roses reunite that they "should've been here 15 years ago, you lazy bastards". He then accused festival headliners Coldplay of being boring and said that they are the reason why Radiohead are so miserable. The band were eventually removed from stage by security for over running their allotted time. When Gillespie was asked why he acted in this manner, he said: "Some fucking hippie robbed all my ale."

Gillespie was also criticised for defacing a Make Poverty History poster signed by all the acts at the festival. Gillespie scribbled over this and wrote "Make Israel History". Gillespie later said that he did this in support of Palestine, and when questioned on whether he was anti-semitic, he responded "Because you oppose one country's government's policies doesn't mean to say that you hate all the people from that country."

Gillespie and Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis have since met and Eavis reportedly brushed off the incident as amusing.


På Youtube under en video till Star Fruit Surf Rider finns en korrekt analys av Gillespies inställning till textförfattande.

Bobby Gillespie never really changed his approach to writing lyrics: scribble down a load of hackneyed "cool" phrases, throw them up in the air and glue them back together in whatever order they fall.

Nedan är ett par klipp från Musikministeriet där Gillespie pratar, flummighet...
