Why wasn't everything Perfect?

Why was it that my heaven-like view of Glastonbury wasn't realised?

Why is it that everyone who doesn't do as I do a nutjob?

Why do different people come to my festival?

Why do people who go to the festival live their life differently from me?

Why is it not as good as it was in the 90's?

Why is it not as good as it was in the 80's?

Why is not as good as it was in the 70's?

Seriously, there are more of these pathetic questions that are becoming tediously asked on here. People need to get some perspective, that you live with who you live with (especially at Glastonbury!), you make of your experience what you make it, you see what you see, you do what you do and you get what you get.

The fact is a 70 something farmer (someone who doesn't apparently enjoy the festival based on the idea of some on here of what enjoying the festival is) invites us onto his farm, provides us with facilities that billions on this earth would die for (seriously, does no one take notice of the messages from Oxfam, Greenpeace and Water Aid?) and delivers close to 24 hour entertainment, almost as diverse as a major city like London, New York or Paris, all in some fields in Somerset?

All this bullshit that is filling this forum is clouding the fact a kind and gentle man just gave the most of us the best week they'll have this year :huh:

Go Al!!!! Top post, sir.

I'm sure even the most negative troll on these forums would rather have had the week they experienced rather than mine. :huh::lol:

Be sodding grateful!

Amazing that there's little or no acknowledgment expressed for Mr Eavis over the festival.

I reckon there should be a mass chant of "There's only one Michael Eavis" at the end of proceedings next year.

The man ain't gonna be around forever.

To be fair, I thought he was turning into an idol/icon. His image seemed to be all over the place embedded in stuff - a bit like Lennin! It was like a game of "spot-the-Michaels-head"

    • Yes, she can just do stadiums and she's probably one step behind when you could have anyway. How Reading works this year though both top two are headlining with Chase probably more a closer due to darkness after Florence. I don't see Wolf Alice in the part of a top 6. If they go back to pure headliner and subs then yes.

    • Wolf Alice are supporting O-Rod in America soon, right? So yeah, I think as a 1/2 that would work. But equally was there any talk of her doing more touring next year beyond her 10 nights at the O2 or whatever it is?   Certainly, I think WA might take a year off themselves in 2027.
    • They didn't. They pushed for Spain to be kicked out of it over this Cueta thing, although as is pointed out by Spanish experts, Cueta is not in Schengen.
