Stone, Me

Last week I showed you my old Ian Brown mask, worn at Glastonbury 1995 to compensate for the non-appearance of the Stone Roses. By chance I've just come across an image taken in the backstage area, where a prancing muppet from Take That had just collided with Oasis. The results were rather alarming.

One moment, Robbie Williams was playing soccer with some mates, seemingly happy. Then suddenly he looked confused, his pupils were pinballing and his heavily protected pop image was starting to slough off him like an old skin. It probably didn't help to be accosted by some loon in a cardboard mask, but hey, I had my job to do, also.

There were many casualties at Glasto that year, notably Evan Dando, sometime heart throb with The Lemonheads. The fella really lost it. Another time, another story...
