Glastonbury slightly tragic after a certain age

[monkeytimesthree]

That's it.

Simon I am watching it on the BBC and the sound quality is awful. Her voice is drowned by the music.

I'm gutted I missed Glasto and therefore Cheryl Crow this year.
I saw her in 1997 at Glastonbury, I think she is still amazing.
I'm going to Glastonbury next year.
Without the kids though.

Fuck off OP.
People that think like you have no place at Glastonbury.

YABVU however at 42 I dunno if I'd have the energy and stamina to go these days!

This is my fave Kylie song.

Yes, Simon the vocals are awful, they keep fading in and out and the balance between the track and the vocals is WAYYYYY out of whack.

@TapasForTwo Clear as anything on site, but then so was FWB, but people were saying you could barely hear him on the TV.

There are still people popping in who haven't read much of the thread clearly, just to say that yes it's all a bit tragic to go to things once you're OLD - although I notice none of them can explain what's so tragic about it, or what age is the cut off point.

I'm not particularly enjoying Kylie, I have to say. She seems like a nice lady, but it's not doing much for me.

The sound has defo been patchy. Seems a lot better now.

The tent people were very odd!

I went to my first music festival at 56 - Leeds festival

DH is also a Kylie fan, @leckford. I doubt he could name a song though

I should think she’s teeny weeny in RL. About 5ft and 7st. Little pocket rocket

I like her engagement with the crowd. You can tell she’s been doing this a long time.

A long time ago I used to go out with a musician and therefore have done my fair share of gigs, plus a couple of festivals. Personally, I’m very happy that I can sit in the comfort of my own home with a nice cup of tea and watch Glasto’ on TV if I want to, rather than risking dysentery whilst surviving in a tent in a muddy field. I am geriatric by OP’s standards, I’m sure, but also very wedded to my creature comforts nowadays

It's amazing how Kylie has spun such a long career out of not a whole lot of talent. I don't mean that in a snarky way as I do like her. But you'd never have guessed when she was bopping about with her bubble perm singing I Should Be So Lucky that she'd be a headline act at Glastonbury over 30 years later!

But no one should EVER rule themselves out of doing anything they want to because of some perception of ‘age appropriateness’.

Aww, she does seem like a geniunely nice woman who loves what she does.

God, I’d be sweating like a glass blower’s arse in that PVC boiler suit, though.

Good old Chris Martin, can always be depended upon to make any event 72% more boring.

Sodding Chris Martin just can't keep away can he?

I know what you mean, Pinkie. She could’ve been another manufactured pop starlet chewed up and spat out by the cynical corporate machine but she turned it around and made it work for her. More power to her for that.

That girl is topless. I hope she put sunscreen on her nipples!

Aw, that was a sweet shot of those big blokes in Cure t shirts bopping away to Can't Get You Out of My Head.

I'm looking forward to the Cure. Provided Chris Martin doesn't pop up for Lovecats, obvs.

Thing is, when you get to a 'certain age' you tend to stop giving two shits about what judgmental twats think about you and are more focused on enjoying life. Which includes watching live bands in the sunshine and seeing all the weird and wonderful things you can find at Glastonbury.

Chris Martin’s schoolboy dreams coming true with that little side eye glance to one of the band.

I swear Chris Martin would turn up for the opening of an envelope.

That girl is topless. I hope she put sunscreen on her nipples!

Oh God.
I thought the same.
I'm officially old.
But still want to be at glasto.

Who’s coming on for especially for you?
