glasto

I live about 9-10 miles from the site as the crow flies. Have done for years. This is the first time I have ever heard the festival from here. New sound systems? Or because I’m clipping my ear bamboo?

@winjim One really can't imagine. It were all fields you know

Its not music, its just a lot of noise. Not like proper music in my day.
OMG, i've turned into my father !

No no I meant only the cure and killers worth watching !

I don’t listen to mainstream music so Glasto offers little value for money to me. I prefer the smaller festivals.

I am fairly local and get so bored of the hype leading up to it. And the traffic.

I read that 'Glastonbury is a mirror of society'. That's a very narrow definition of society I feel, certainly I don't feel reflected by it. Unless, of course, the reflection is intended to highlight equally what is not reflected... but that kinda does my head in to think about.

Morrissey at the time of The Smiths once suggested that DJs said 'nothing to me about my life'. They kinda did though Morrissey.

That's a pretty damning indictment of the behemoth that Glastonbury has become.

I'm just looking at twitter and it's funny how a load of old establishment white men don't seem to like this young, successful, popular black man. I wonder why it could possibly be...

'cause he's crap!

Away from the headliners there's a ridiculous amount of music, and whisper it quietly, quite a lot that's not mainstream - just scroll, and scroll etc...

It's also far from accurate - see my post above.

Bring back Toots and the Maytals!

I've just watched The Chemical Brothers, awesome. Will catch the Cure later.

Nothing like a good VPN.

Because they're sheet, and sound like a cat caught in a lawnmower?

I'm pleased that I'm finally now in "The Establishment". I must the the first Jewish Phil Lynnott fan to ever make it in.

Never went away, still touring. They may be the only artists in the world who aren't at Glastonbury this weekend...

Ex-military, ex-police, now 'finally' part of the establishment?
