Glastonbury

Rock and roll leg-end, John Fogerty played a couple of years back, saw that on the TV - great stuff, nearly as good as The Wombles!

For Glasto ther there is too much indie landfill and populist mainstream acts.

Exactly my thoughts, every time I see the line up each year. If I go to a festival, I don't want to see bands I could hear on Radio 2, were I to ever listen to it. I want interesting and individual bands I've never heard of, like Babyhead or The Anomalies or Flipron, all of whom I saw at small festivals around Herefordshire and Shropshire. I have no doubt that you can see this sort of band at Glastonbury too, but it's a lot cheaper to see them at the smaller festivals.

I sincerely cannot imagine anything worse than spending a weekend in a muddy field with a load of middle class pretend hippies and people doing holistic healing in yurts. Apart, possibly, from doing so with U2 and f**king Coldplay dribbling away at high volume in the background. I'd rather spend the weekend picking contaminated hypodermic needles out of a blocked hospital sink with my teeth.

Glad I'm not the only one with a loathing of all things Glastonbury. Totally over-hyped nonsense which I can't believe so many people fall for. Step daughter thinks it's the dogs bollocks but from what I hear of it, it is an exercise in parting the gullible from their money under a faux hippy/new-age/alternative lifestyle facade.

From what I hear you can make a lot of money over the weekend if you can get a trader's licence. Might be worth boning up on crystals, feng-shui or whatever the new-age claptrap du jour is.
