Ian Astbury (after noting a Rolling Stones shirt in the crowd, shimmying around the stage and mimicking Jagger): 'Mick Jagger... fucking prick. I met him when I was young and I was looking for... something. I don't know - he just wanted to look at my girlfriend. David Bowie? Gentleman! Robert Plant? Gentleman! Eric Clapton? Prick. Pete Townsend? Billy Duffy? Well...'
