Does he know that I'm not big enough to headline?

Does he know I demand a fee bigger that fleetwood mac? 

On the subject of acts, Watched the Donovan documentary on sky arts, would be nice to see him at Glastonbury for the 50th

It’s interesting to reflect on those who attended the first festival. In 1970 I Had just turned teenager. Decent Music didn’t find you, you had to go and find it yourself. It was word of mouth, devouring the music press for gigs, listening to obscure radio shows. Nothing on tv apart from the who or stones on totp until whistle test appeared in 71.  no internet.  There was a fear amongst teenagers, a real fear, of being called up if we got involved in Vietnam or the bomb dropped. We got into music from James Taylor, cat Stevens, to deep purple, floyd etc.  Gigs were riotous and gatherings of those of similar minds.  We’ve come a long way since then, but I reckon Glastonbury has retained this sense of togetherness despite the huge attendance and changes in society. 

Happy fiftieth!

So all those going to the London book thingy have been asked to submit questions for Emily, Billy B, Caitlin Moran etc - anyone got any? I'm not submitting any 'who are the headliners?' type gubbins.

one I failed to ask last time ... I created a separate thread for it ..... I wonder how much they check social media ? and does it influence them at all ? I hope I know the answer to the second one ... but id hate for them to be influenced / affected by it in any way
