Jay-Z To Get Eavis Introduction At Glastonbury Festival

They were slightly worried about the audience not being a London or Birmingham urban crowd. I said, ‘OK, I’ll do something that I haven’t done for the entire 38 year history of the festival - I’ll take you on stage and introduce you to the audience.’ And he (Jay-Z) said, ‘Michael, I’ll do your show’.”

Daniel Craig wants Facebook lessons taught in schools

According to Daniel Craig Facebook lessons should be taught in schools. Daniel who has a 15-year-old daughter believes that children need to be protected from all the dangers of the social networking website.

Daniel said that “I genuinely believe it has to be part of education, because if we’re going to be this savvy, if we’re going to go, ‘OK right, we’ll share this with the world’, we have to understand the implications. We have a general malaise. Unfortunately, there are so many media outlets now, what do you focus on? Individuals with a passion are seen to be rare because people don’t seem to be interested in that slight craziness that I grew up loving - that eccentricity.”

What do you think, do you agree?
