so much wrongness on such a short thread:

Cliff Richard is a c**t. f**k off and don't ever darken Glastonbury's door

John Lennon was shit too, while we're at it

The Wombles, however are excellent. and AFCW supporters to boot. Hooray!

As usual I was really enjoying your post sadly you ruined it with that Lennon comment. Lennon is a f**kin' legend albeit bit of a prick maybe but a musical f**king genius! Give me Lennon over Macca anyday!

In relation to your post lower down, why does it matter how long ago music was produced? If it still sounds good why not enjoy it? People who continually harp on about new music and scorn the old as shite are generally scenesters, with shite taste.

hehehe, as it goes, I'd f**king love to be a scenester rather than what I really am, a fat knacker pushing 40 who's struggling to make the transition from 80s indie boy via rave to middle aged country music fan

And you go to Glastonbury,,,, thats pretty sad to hear your childish comments about older acts me thinks you should be going to other festivals and leaving Glasto alone

[Mardy]

Leonard Cohen - Masterful, beautiful wonderful, moving beyond words

Tony Christie - er, not.

Age has got nothing to do with it, absolutely nothing.

anyway, Staggerlee, would love to meet you for a pint by the real ale tent next year and discuss this over a few beers. I'm sure we could find plenty of common ground.

But for tonight, I'm away

*sigh*, OK, once again

but you know, that's just what I think and of no importance to anyone. I guess I'm sort of mixed up on this one, yeah, I don't really think age has much to do with it in some ways, but in others, I kind of think it does, Glastonbury is the festival of contemporary performng arts, I think it's relevance, it's youthfullness and it's willingness to embrace the new are it's strongest asset, I'd hate for it to become another festival full of retro acts and irrelevant reunions etc.

My key point is really this:

Look at the lineup from the first festival. Contemporary stuff for it's time, nobody from the 1930s (40 years before, the equivalent of today's 1960s bands). Do you honestly think Glastonbury would be the legendary, wonderful, marvellous thing it is today if those first festivals had featured Duke Ellington or George Formby? (I've posted this several times on here and nobody's ever really given me an answer to it)

All things in moderation, but last years lineup just struck me as a bit too focussed on looking backwards rather than forwards. I personally enjoyed a fair bit of that music, but I still think it's the wrong way for Glastonbury to be looking. I'd love the pyramid to return to the days of Archaos or someone headling, something a bit more challenging.

Peace

and woe betide anybody should make some off hand comments about older rocks starts eh? I think all of them are beyond reproach and there's absolutely nothing remotely ridiculous about aging musicians who still think they're young. All of them, without exception deserve our undying grratitude and respect, and indeed reverence. Sssshhhh, here comes Mick Jagger. Nobody laugh now. God bless them all *salutes*

Ok i understand where you are coming from but i personaly do not want Glastonbury to become a festival with just the young bands on this would ruin this legendary festival because to me it is the only festival that has multi age bands young and old this attracts different ages and it should remain that way and never change if it did it would just be another Leeds/ Reading etc festival where most older age groups are not respected and all the bands are for the young ones.

A mixture of both age groups is good i can understand what you mean about this years acts but it did cater for both age groups in my eyes
