Funny Neil Young quote from Eavis...

[Wanderlei]

Says Festival founder Michael Eavis: "Every year the people that come to the Festival ask the same question: when is Neil Young playing?"

[freehugs!]

Yep. That was the question on everyones' lips when i was at Glasto last year. "Did you see Leonard Cohen last night?", "Yeah, but i bloody wish they'd get Neil Young on that stage!!!". "How were the Kings of Leon?", "Kings of who? WE WANT NEIL!!!"

lol. That line tickled me for some reason. I know he has to promote his headliners but there's a fine line between doing it justice and looking silly.

[Wanderlei]

yeah because Eavis meant it was the ONLY thing people talked about at Glasto, particularly after headline slots.

or maybe he just meant it was something a lot of people asked him as he walked around.

you utter moron.

[russycarps]

And what's with the name-calling?

[Wanderlei]

Also, where were people discussing Leonard Cohen? The car park?

[pedmills]

Leonard Cohen is twice the artist Neil Young is. Being Canadian, i bet Young idolises Cohen.

[titch juicy]

much as a love leonard cohen- he's not fit to lace neil young's boots

neil young is widely regarded as one of the best songwriters of the 20th century...possibly only bettered by bob dylan

[Wanderlei]

What are you basing that on?

Its opinion.

In someone else's opinion Neil Young is twice the artist Leonard Cohen is

[sifi]

You're stating the obvious. It's OBVIOUS that that's my opinion because that's what i'm saying.

People seem to like Neil Young because he's seen as one of these "Dylan-esque" figures that you've got to respect. I say Cohen is better based on the music. Nothing more, nothing less.

[robith]

Leonard Cohen is twice the artist Neil Young is. Being Canadian, i bet Young idolises Cohen.

[Wanderlei]

Is it unacceptable to say they're both tremendous?

[robith]

Not if that's what you think. But i don't think Neil Young is tremendous.

[Wanderlei]

Enjoy the show. Neil Young is a great act.

Asking Michael Eavis when Neil Young is finally gonna show up at the farm is actually an age old tradition that stretches back into the mists of time. Nobody knows when it first began but there are references to it in old monastic scripts and the question is etched into the walls at glastonbury abbey in a piece of ancient graffiti thought to be around 500 years old.

I bumped into Michael the other year & asked him when Neil was on & all he had to say was thanks for coming...... a true story apart from the asking about Neil bit

[Neeeeeedles]

jesus they got on your back abit Wanderlei.

people get so offended or wound up on this forum

i saw nothing wrong with the OP so chill the f**k out.

It is true to say that ME saying about it being on everyones lips is a MASSIVE exageration,

wait, check through what i have said a few times just in case it winds someone up...maybe it might be my grammer,

will wait and see

mate you will get beasted for that comment,

there will be plenty more on at the same time.

rumour has it kanye, if thats more your style.

it will be well worth the £185 afterwards no worries

[Neeeeeedles]

he has given reasons previous to why not a 'heavy' metal band such as the ones you mentioned, after a few deaths at european concerts or something.

i have a good feeling about blur though.

Springsteen i think is epic, but alot of people my age give me blank looks to that statement so i can see where your coming from.

wouldnt express those views on here man, people will just tell you to f**k off to reading or leeds im afraid
