As I'd been told beforehand, he doesnt interact with the crowd at all - but he performed his songs just fine. And I agree with Amfy, the crowd got really into it, which was great.
I was dissapointed he didnt play more of his acoustic tracks though, such as Simple As This and Someone Told Me, but I suppose he was saving this for the acoustic set? How was the acoustic set by the way? I missed it cos it clashed with Ed Sheeran.

Disagree. He's okay. His songs are okay. But he's not a headliner for a stage of that size.
I noticed in the program that for his acoustic stage set the description said something like "fresh from his set headlining the john peel stage..."
Seemed to suggest that they'd held out for prince to headline for so long the copy for the program had been written! And when he turned them down they bumped Metallica up to the pyramid and Bugg up to the Other.

was that the exchange or the recharge tent? Exchange just queued down towards west holts.The queue to swap them on the Sunday was the longest queue I saw all weekend. All the way along the Leftfield field and then back again.
-
you had to buy in advance- that was the deal. The long queues were irrelevant; brilliantly efficient at getting them swapped, the longest queue any of ours joined too ten minutes to get through, and every bar gave them a 100% charge. Nothing but praise for this, and whoever thought of it - beyond criticism.No new power bars for sale whenever we looked and a massive queue to recharge them. Hate to say it but I could see that coming a mile off - usual Glastonbury unpreparedness.

How is Genesis Rip Roaring?
-
Nope !! Just not seeing any light - red or green, tiny or otherwise, hidden or recessed !!
-
I wonder where the exchange tents will be.
-
It clearly says 'charge it before you go' in the enclosed leaflet.
-
Not a hint of that on the packaging or info sheet. Tiny light is recessed and half covered by charging cable. Red/Green charging lights are the bane of my life as I'm colour blind!!

RIP to a comedy legend. We'll never see this on the Pyramid now
You will see something very much like it ( but not as funny) on the Saturday....

. Go to jake bugg. Ignore everyone else, he is very good and 'his' crowd will be well up for it on Saturday night. It will be a highlight of the festival.Haha, thats a fair point! I suppose its a combination of many people saying Bugg isn't so good live, plus the fear of missing out on the biggest act at my first ever Glastonbury. My admiration of Bugg's first album still stands though, and even if I catch the start of Metallica I'll be surprised if it doesn't push me away to see Bugg.

Interesting.
On the subject of necessity, eating meat is surely un-necessary in a technologically advanced society....we could grow whatever food we need at far less cost to the planet and with no misery subjected on living things (which wouldn't therefore exist, bizarre thought).
By extension, eating meat is a barbaric act of equal or greater magnitude to hunting for sport, which is after all only an expression of human nature formed over billions of years of evolution.
Therefore is it not hypocritical to eat a ham sandwich and slag off James Hetfield?
I can't decide.
-
unfortunately, that only works for the people with a mind. ;)Two weeks ago loads of peeps voted for foxhunting-supporting w*nkers, on the basis that they greed with him how wrong it was that foreigners speak foreign on trains.I never knew that the UK was such a country of linguists, cos they're all talking native on their holidays, obviously.

in years to come fishing will be viewed in the same way as bear baiting, dog fighting etc. Humanity will become more enlightened as time goes by.
"Fishing is something we have always done". What a pathetic argument.
Slavery was something we had "always done" too.
Dont worry, evolution will remove slow-witted, backwards people like you from the gene pool over time.
-
Your scenario I have no gripe with - as long as it's not overfishing - but fishing for fun as opposed to food I have issues with.

" I've never been hunting, but I sort of get the appeal; it's not for me, but then I don't suppose football, my other pastime, would appeal to hunters. We've made it to the top of the food chain, lets make the most of it "
I don't personally believe that humans are any more entitled to life than any other animal, that is why I questioned your view that we have made weapons so we should 'make the most of it'
-
Do you think that alright for us to kill other humans with the weapons we have made? Or is that a bad thing?
-
Anything other than his own views is pish, he also seems to suffer from old man syndrome. Pretty sure he'd be the type of person to sit in a park and shout at people walking past.
-
It says you favour your own selfish enjoyment over the welfare & health of the creatures you torment with your 'sport'. If you're ok with that, then that's fine but don't dress it up as something it's not.
Your assumption is also wrong. I've written several papers on the reforms necessary to the law in order to protect wildlife/the environment within the UK (& to a lesser extent the EU.)
-
Yes I think it's barbaric. I wouldn't particularly even class it as a 'sport', more of a sad old man's hobby. It may add to your enjoyment of life but it's entirely detrimental to the fishes health, if you're ok with that then that says more about you as a person than I possibly could.
Each to their own & all that though, of course.
-
Hunting for sport has nothing to do with the being at the top of the 'food chain' though.
But on that topic, if you truly believe you're at the top of the food chain, I challenge you or anybody else to attempt to hunt & kill a bear in the wild without the aid of a gun. Good luck.

Get on board with the IDA. Or PETA. Or an organisation who has an international standing and the ear of a government. An organisation who knows how to get things done, who can onboard celebs, rich c**ts, people who can make a difference. An organisation thats being crying out for help, any help, for over 30 years. Unlike these Facebook crews and their mock outrage.
Sitting on a couch and setting up a Facebook group on your iphone is completely pointless. In my opinion its actually harmful as it dilutes whats already there PETA, Greenpeace, IDA etc. Theres already multiple platforms to voice these things.
But people do it instead because they want to make it clear how personally outraged they are. "Look at me, look at me I'm such a good person".
If everyone is as outraged as they say, why not join up and drop a donation to the IDA?
Theres the link, all you have to do is click it. Takes a mere two minutes to sign up to the mailing list. And a further two minutes to donate.
