Glasto

[Arginald Valleywater]

Am I among the minority who think Glasto is overrated? BBC coverage is a disjointed mess (although Jo Whiley would do great Milf Porn) and the sound mixes are shocking. I sincerely hope Metallica blow the place apart with some real musicianship.

Metallica have restored my faith in how to play live. Mosh!

No, you are among the majority who think Glastonbury is overrated. And anyone over 25 or not a sub-editor on a tabloid and calls it Glasto is seriously sad.

Compare the media coverage with that afforded to Download.

There are probably three reasons for this...

Glastonbury is bigger than Download, it is more eclectic than Download and has more acts that are better known to a larger number of the population than Download.

Plus Download is for music fans. Half the Glastonbury crowd are there as part of the social season....next stop Henley...

Used to be good until it sold its soul to commercialism and became a magnet for "celebrities" like Kate Moss lording it in VIP winnebagos.

I can see it collapsing under its own weight trying to be too many things to too many different types of fan.
