Dear Mr Eavis, when you read "we" in the OP's post, please don't take that to mean all of us, but just him or her!  I for one have no interest in the majority of the artists in the list.

Thankyou

Hello Mr. Eavis

You run a fantastic festival, my life wouldn't be worth living without it.

Just need to give you a quick heads up about the bottleneck that happened on the Wednesday, what measures are going to be taken to ensure that it wont happen again next year? Or was there nothing you can do about it?

From Blackhole.

(p.s, if any Efester on here could answer this question, it would be much appreciated :))

Possibly? the boundaries of what is and is not racist/nationalist are very close. But then again you can support your national teams football/olympics etc with a feeling that they are the best and not be racist. Plus be proud that Glastonbury festival is one of the greatest festivals in the world held in England gives you a great feeling of national pride?

nope...
the fact that it's in England means it's easier for me to get to than if it was anywhere else. I have nothing to do with the organising of the festival, so I don't really feel any 'pride' as such.

The Smiths were legendary, Morrissey as we know him now, is just a twat, so far up his own ass you can see his eyes in his mouth.

Well put...I was never a real big Smiths fan but will admit they were good...Now though he is just a complete waste of space.dare i say there are better than him on X Factor...not that i watch it ;) ;) ;)

I think Mr Eavis would need to fix Mr Bowie first, and even his powers aren't that strong.

Oh no! What's the matter with Bowie?

Funny shouts on Morrissey.

A British nationalist who lives in LA.

That makes sense.

So, glastorave - have you had a reply from Michael Eavis yet to your letter?  If you haven't, why not give him a quick call.  See how things are going with him sorting out your own personalised festival experience.  I'm sure he'll be really happy to hear from you.

I think he's got a dicky ticker.  He's not toured since 2003, when I finally managed to see him - thank lord.  I'd hate to have not seen him.

I'd love to see:
Angus & Julia Stone
Tom Waits
Joni Mitchell

And for a late night appearance in the Dance Field..... Underworld
