Via NME via Shidoobee, Jagger makes my day,
retroactively, helping out the Pistols behind the scenes:
John Lydon has said that The Rolling Stones looked "silly"
when they headlined Glastonbury this year.
Speaking to Noisey, the Public Image Ltd singer also said
that the Stones' fellow headliners at Worthy Farm last
month, Mumford And Sons, were on "the cornball side".
When asked if he had seen either of the two bands at the
festival, he replied: "I didn't know Mumford were on. Urgh.
To me, that's fake dodgy paddy outfits, you know? It's a
little bit on the cornball side. And the Stones... I saw
about five minutes the night before in a hotel in Bristol,
and I didn't like what I was seeing. It looked just silly."
However, Lydon said that he was reluctant to mock The
Rolling Stones "too much" due to the help that singer Mick
Jagger had previously given Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious.
"Good luck to them, let them do what they want," he said.
"They're not my enemy. Over the years, Mick Jagger's
actually done some nice things in our direction, particularly
with the early Pistols. When Sid was in a lot of trouble,
Mick was there secretly behind the scenes offering us
lawyers and things, which we were incapable of getting
together. So I won't have him knocked too much."
