FWIW I love Roxy.

Me too,would absolutely watch them. And wouldn't watch Rod. But he definitely makes sense for the most recent incarnation of the legend slot.

Also, if we're talking Tories, isn't Bryan Ferrry a massive one?

Didn't stop him headlining WH.

No I don't think it would stop him playing. Just while we are talking Tories.

You're no different to the average punter. All of us are.

I think playing Glastonbury might have had an influence on Rods political leanings of late … interesting to see if that remains … 

[gazzared]

He's definitely got the hits and him not being able to sing probably doesn't really matter and Iam sure he'd have a massive crowd who will thoroughly enjoy themselves

He'll fit it no better than he fitted a headline slot. 

As someone said above, you’d never book Lionel Richie to headline but he was perfect for the legend slot. They are entirely different slots.

LIONEL Richie Gets Booked To Headline Lots Of Festivals. 

[Hugh Jass II]

This is not difficult stuff people.

Roxy are (IMO) far better than Rod musically but would also be much less suited to that slot than Rod would be.

Not the best day in the pyramid’s history considering who played what became the legends slot earlier that day in 2002… 👀

Isaac Hayes?

No problem with him playing. All Scientologists are mental obviously, and some of the statements attributed to him towards the end of his life would have been a bit hypocritical if they'd actually come from him - but the general perception is that by that point someone was putting words into his mouth.

Was it the dark lord Xenu?

Certainly someone who professed a belief in said deity.

and lets not forget...he played Sun City during apartheid. 

He'd be able to reminisce about it with Elton, who also played there. As did Dolly and countless others.

I was thinking of Rolf, but now you mention it you had Isaac and also Roger Waters for good measure to up the off-stage yikes factor.

I can't bring myself to listen to these guys just because of their awful name... should I give them a go?

Eh, they're alright. They have some good songs, but nothing massively special. I do quite like 'Start Again' featuring Frank Turner though.

Rolf was the "lunchtime novelty" act rather than anywhere near the legends slot though.
