DeanoL Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 The problem with naming it after anyone else now it's that it's hardly an honour is it? Oh they named a tent after you at Glastonbury? The one that was previously named after a sex offender? You must be so proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus there is no guarantee that whoever they name the stage after doesn’t also have Skeletons in the closet and we’ll have to rename it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, jam for jamming guitars... Or the spread obv... but then you can change most names into something odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if the actions are positive (and the new person/people hasn't/haven't got any skeletons of their own), it's still an honour. I'd love to have a tent named after me at Glastonbury. A phoenix always rises out of the ashes. Without trying to get all Harry Potter about it. I think the move would be met with admiration that the festival a) owns up to a mistake and b) champions someone who deserves it.

evannn Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 If they want to remember JP's legacy without "erasing history" (good or bad), I propose a subtle change: The Peelo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call it the eFests Stage, and instead of bands people can just go there to have cyclical arguments with strangers. Imagine the lineup. 11:30-12:15 Will Covid Ever Go Away? 12:45-13:30 Prince, Daft Punk and Other Rumours 14:00-14:45 What's Wrong With Silver Hayes? 15:15-16:00 Walking Boots Or Trainers? 16:30-17:30 Why Your Favourite Band Should Never Play 18:00-19:00 Is The Festival Too Expensive? 19:30-20:30 Simpsons Memes 21:00-22:00 Next Year's Weather (compered by Nal and Briddj with guest appearances from Dee and Dusty) 22:30-23:45 Are Foals Bigger Than The 1975?

Copperface Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 The Tithe Stage has a nice local connection to the Tithe Barn which ME has a great interest in and is literally a couple of hundred metres from the current JP location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

august1 Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 looks like the organiser of this petition has been in touch with every paper/website as loads of them running with it. Doesnt look like they've actually ever been to Glastonbury either, strange to be so passionate about it out of nowhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno with the organiser, someone earlier on suggested they just want to be known as the person who changed it. Maybe that, who knows? Either way it's something that should be seriously considered, and it shouldn't be discarded on the grounds that it would be pandering to the Heil or any of the other rags. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a cynical man (I tend to be) and an ex-journalist who understands the way certain reporters can work, I'd venture a guess the person who started the petition works on the mail news desk and used a fake name. Only surprise is the name they've gone for is Jack O, rather than Pete O. It's a theory anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping with tradition is always a good thing ? right ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-62126645 The Westwood Tent Great 😤 Was anybody not into kids ffs? 😕 Looking back on my teenage years in the late 90's, when I was 14 and 15 it seemed like every girl in our year was with a much older lad / bloke, sometimes into their late 20s with a house, car etc. Never really reflected on how creepy that was at the time, we were too busy moaning about how much of an inconvenience it was. 🙈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hfuhruhurr Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Back in late 70s/early 80s, radio 1 djs would tour around and we used to have a local barn dance with one every year. I remember one of the girls "shagged" the dj, she was 16 at best. At the time we thought it was wrong. It has always been wrong, this "oh, it used to be accepted" is bollocks. It is and always has been wrong. They knew it and the only difference now is that they can't so easily get away with it. In a position of power sexually assaulting someone way younger than you. Bollocks to that. JP and all the others need to be called out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bollocks to that. JP and all the others need to be called out. BTW I wasn’t suggesting it wasn’t wrong back in the 90s, or that it used to be accepted, I was just saying that, as hormonal teenage boys, we were more concerned with how inconvenient it was for us that all of the ‘fit’ girls had much older boyfriends. Of course it was wrong, and it’s quite concerning looking back how widespread it was. Blokes didn’t even ‘need’ to be famous to get away with it, just have a regular income and a nice car!!! There were a lot of girls out there who were very easily impressed by that sort of thing, so I can only imagine how star struck they were when it came to celebrities! We’re probably looking at tens if not hundreds of thousands of girls who felt obliged to do things that they wouldn’t have done with their equal peers. 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
