With that many acts it's a wonder there's any space left for the concert goers. Stones, Jonny marr, the Beat, Billy Bragg, Elvis Costello and the incomparable Martin Stephenson and the Daintees.
None of them. Would never go to a festival. Billy Bragg is an obnoxious smug pretentious arsehole who writes ****e songs and can't sing. His guitar playing is twee. I put him up there with the other cock and champagne Socialist Paul "The Cockfather" Weller. Couple of ****in hypocrites.
Would you like to suck me off babes? Dont worry if some of my pubes get stuck in the back of your throat the ensuing spunk fountain will wash them down darling.
A corporate mud-fest in which the final dying embers of counter-culture idealism are briefly stoked into life for the purpose of wringing money from the gullible. A gathering of the tribes in celebration of middle class ****erdom disguised as rebellion. A tragic event, the only redeeming feature of which is watching all those ****s get wet. Pay top dollar to sleep in a field surrounded by accountants pretending to be hippies, and rich white kids pretending to be rastafarians? No, ta. Wouldn't mind seeing Bobby Womack though.
My mate works for an outdoor clothing and equipment retailer - he said the people that now go to Glastonbury are the sort of people you'd imagine at Glyndbourne or Hickstead etc. Hereckoned he wouldn't be surprised if they had segreated areas depending on which public school you were at
Every now and again, a wordsmith tells us stuff like this and we;re all like thats pure true. <laugh?
Glen Hansard,Billy Bragg,Johnny Marr,Bobby Womack,Public Enemy,Smashing Pumpkins,Nick Cave,Elvis Costello,The Beat and Motown Party all from the comfort of my own couch. ps no takers for The Proclaimers?
