Pete Doherty said the highlight of his Glastonbury weekend -- where he performed both solo and with his band Babyshambles -- was meeting Iggy Pop. He was part of the "fan invasion" of the stage, but also got to meet the legend.
Of the stage invasion, Pete said, "I got up there, I was jumping about and all that, and I saw this QPR shirt in the midst of all the turmoil. I made a bee-line for it and grabbed hold of him, and said 'yeah! Come on you 'R's!' Bad idea. He was like, 'PETE! Gimmie your address! I'll send you one!'"
I honestly can not figure out what happened there.
Pete went on to say,"I said to him, I'm not being funny, but you're a great lyricist, Mr. Pop." He said, 'yeah man, I've heard some of your stuff, I've heard the Libertines, but I prefer Babyshambles."
Wait -- doesn't Iggy claim to be sober now? Because I'd like to know what he's on. I want whatever crazy drugs make Babyshambles sound better than The Libertines, because I bet I'd tolerate a lot more modern music. Not that I hate Babyshambles [unless they go all reggae, then I hate them] but come on!
