Its always funny to watch a young pretender try to steal the crown of a reigning monach, in this case Beth Ditto attempts the same sort of audience interaction and stage diving antics as Iggy at Glastobury but with perhaps slightly less success as it looks like the audience let her hit the ground when she jumped into the crowd after which she missed her cue; something Iggy, old pro he is, didn't do. Think Jack Black in a latex dress. She still gives an electric performance though.

Re: Iggy Pop -V- Beth DittoPolitically incorrect to say so, but if Beth Ditto was stage diving I would be getting the hell out of the way!That said, Iggys jumped off a stage many a time and not been caught, Think that happened when the MTV awards were in Dublin or something, can't remember, but I do have a vague recolletion of watching TV and seeing Iggy stagedive, land on the ground and the audience stole his shoes and me finding it hilarious.
