Barack Obama 4 Jay-Z at Glastonbury?

By Jude Rogers

Ooh la la, Barack Obama's on the front of the new Rolling Stone, looking a bit cheeky and smily and – hold on to your hairslides, indie girls – he's even got a badge on. Only it's of the Stars and Stripes and not a Bikini Kill pin. Come on Barack, wear a Pussy Whipped one for us! No? Rubbish.

Anyway, Obama raves in the issue about what's on his iPod – Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylanzzzz...oh sorry, I've just nutted myself to sleep on my monitor. Still, Jay-Z's on there too, who Obama calls " a brilliant talent and a good guy...somebody who is going to start branching out and can help shape attitudes in a real positive way."

Which enthusiasm makes us wonder if Barack will be one of the special guests LandRovered in to Saturday's Glastonbury-topping Jay-Z show – which old Shawn Corey Carter is promising to be so damn huge it'll shut up the doubters, yeah? The buzzing rumour mill suggests that Adele, Amy Winehouse, plus – ooh! – Beyonce Knowles and Kanye West will attend, presumably being dropped in off a big welly in the sky, before Michael Eavis puts on an Annie wig to conduct Hard Knock Life while Barack presides over proceedings from a Beach Chair. THAT'S WHAT GLASTONBURY NEEDS, dagnammit! More fanciful – or even sensible – suggestions for Jay-Z's set welcomed below...
