Do you adapt your lifestyle to reduce your carbon footprint, reduce waste or other initiatives? I am not being contrary here either and I am one of those people who has adapted their lifestyle because of WaterAid but not for them and the entry ticket.
The point I was trying to make in one of my earlier posts was that prior to my first festival with them, I also just saw it as a way in but, dare i say it, I had a bit of an epiphany at the festival and started having some quite deep thoughts along the lines of "folk are complaining about a smell and the toilets are actually really clean. Lots of people would kill for just a toilet near to their house and running water to wash in." It was probably the sun and the cider and not enough water. that zapped my noggin. It had a quite profound effect on me but I do often think deeply and have some issues with PTSD from combat operations and find volunteering very rewarding. A long drop at Glastonbury is luxury compared to some of the places I have had to drop my back over the years.
I got the seed sewn at Glastonbury and have committed more time to the charity because of that and because of the reward one gets from giving ones time for a good cause is hard to quantify.
I get your thought process and understand and there will be many similar but can see that in a couple of years, to make the cut with many of the charity organisations at Glastonbury will become harder and harder. Also, surely a sponsored walk or some fund raising at work is hardly a lifestyle change is it?
All that said, if i was still 25 my thoughts and reflections may be very different. Age and life experience does tend to make one look at things very differently as one gets older.
So you either refusing to believe that they are already in Europe or you don’t understand your own definition.
so by that you also believe they cost more than Foo Fighters ans Billie Eilish? I’m guessing your research is more extensive than of sites that literally dedicate their existence for this.
I would say that was my initial thought on release too. I had about 14/15 acts of interest but 10 of which were significant. Compare to this year, I've got about 14 I'd currently watch and not want to miss.
