When I first saw the cover of the latest issue of NME, I thought "Ok, NME...let's not get ahead of ourselves here." As Jay-Z's mock cover of Oasis' "Wonderwall" gets freshly penned in as One Of The Greatest Moments In Music History, I wasn't necessarily a believer that the rapper had reborn the music festival.
