2013 Headliners

[Wooderson]

I don't like Promised Land and Prove it All Night off Darkness. Both of which didn't go down well at Glasto really. They're piss/bar songs at Boss shows when I go. And Badlands is a bit "Born To Run Part 2" for me. Although I love the middle 8.

Anyway, I like Darkness, but its my least favourite of all his albums up to and including BITUSA. Apart from the production on most of The River.

[Wooderson]

It's definitely my favourite, but I don't think it tails off onto the second side either. The one-two of racing In The Street and The Promised Land is maybe his greatest moment, I'd say.

In comparison, TWTI&TESS has a few clunkers and the first album is promising at best.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yup - I also happen to like Prove It All Night as well! For me it's Something in the Night that's the (relative) weakest link - he get's a bit bellowy on it.

As for The River, Sherry Darling's my favourite song there, so your mileage may vary as to whether you now think I'm crackers.

[UEF]

I didnt know prince openly hated the festival. Why is that then?

"It's a real mission to get up to the stone circle, and what the fuck's the fuss about that overrated cider bus? It's really not what it used to be"

- Prince

Well, Neil has said the story is bollocks, but what's so unbelievable about what I said?

that's because it is bollocks.

Papers have pages to fill every day. If they don't have anything of substance to say they have to invent something to fill that space.

[TheSeventhOne]

Totally clutching at straws here but if nobody currently has a handle on the 3rd headliner then how we can be sure that it ISN'T Prince?

[Matt42]

I'm not going to 100% believe neil on this one. You can call me gullible but it's not JUST the daily star who have reported this. They wouldn't just make this up, they would have to have heard something from somewhere...

[Vieuphoria]

they probably heard it from each other

[TheSeventhOne]

That's the spirit. KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE!

You're talking about the press, and saying "they wouldn't just make this up".

I'm not sure that it isn't Prince but I'm pretty sure that the Star story is guff.

How does that suit you?

yep, Freddie Starr REALLY DID eat that hamster, the cruel bastard. It wasn't a made up story at all.

Care to show me any story that isn't a story that's been written off what the Star have reported?

And if the Star is correct with this, was it also correct with Rihanna too, and there's lots of headliners this year, maybe 50 of them?

I'm pretty sure the Rihanna story was a cynical PR move more than anything else.

[fatyeti24]

And my sentence related to that how?

The rihanna one wasn't "made up" a source told them, and obviously that source was wrong. They didn't just sit at a table and think "Hey, today lets fool the nation to believe rihanna's headlining glastonbury". They were told by a dipshit who wanted to create news. Now you could say that someone without any knowledge told them this time! But we have nothing to prove that that's the case.

They have been right with certain glasto things in the past, so i'm not just going to rule this out completely.

[eoinca]

My sources tell me that Pink Floyd with a resurrected Syd Barrett and Rick Wright are headlining all 3 nights.

Of course my source was a hallucination I had last week after doing a load of ketamine.

[Matt42]

aw bless.

why do you think these things are credited to 'a source'?

give your head a wobble fella!

[eFestivals]

is that what you think?

They didn't just sit at a table and think "Hey, today lets fool the nation to believe rihanna's headlining glastonbury".

you're right of course. They never make stuff up because they have a deadline to hit with content that sounds good so that their boss is impressed so they keep their job.

yep, they defo sometimes do get good info. This isn't one of them tho.

They could, by chance, be right about Prince. But it would be only chance and not because there was substance behind this story.
