Glastonbury slightly tragic after a certain age

[monkeytimesthree]

That's it.

I am still in awe at how powerful his voice still is...
There y'go, he's talking now

He's obviously read your post @Bearbehind

I hope they do A Forest

Dear younger people, older people aren't just going to fuck off because you've come along, we'll continue to do the things we enjoy regardless of whether you want us to or not. When you get to our age you'll be pleased we paved the way for you.

As long as they do Boys Dont Cry I'll be happy

Yes the ones that gabble on just don't have the music to speak for them.

I’m watching The Streets who are on the other stage. Doubt there is any one more off their face at Glastonbury than Mike Skinner. It’s next level.

YABU. Live and let live! I would love to go to Glastonbury (I'm over 40), it's for all ages. But I wouldn't go to Parklife for example as the average age is definitely younger (...and there are very few bands I'd want to see there!).

Agree Sakura.
Who wants to hear them talk?
I want to hear them sing.
I hate artists who waffle on for 5 minutes between every 2 songs.

I’d love to know how many people who are loving this are doing so for reasons other than they are 40 somethings who remember it from their youth.

I still think it’s a shit headline act for Glastonbury.

Ohhhhh TUNE

Love this

Good for you!

I love this song

Why can't I find who headlined the NME stage in 1995 ?? It wasnt elastica as I previously thought

The Cure are rocking this, the crowd are loving it.

Bear surely you can appreciate the musicianship and his voice?

Oh yes a band who wrote their own music and can still sing and play it just as well as they always have without the need for autotune and backing vocal tracks with millions of fans are a terrible headliner because they don't utter inanities about loving the crowd for you @Bearbehind

I saw a documentary about Glastonbury the other week and Emily Eavis said it's so hard to get the acts together. They have wanted Fleetwood Mac for years but can't get them over. Maybe some demand too much money?

I keep turning my telly up louder with every song.

So who would you have chosen then @Bearbehind.

Nope, I see a bloke with odd hair and make up who’s 40 years out of date headlining the biggest musical festival in the world and think it is actually a bit tragic, like the OP said.

He’s not really a talker though anyway, is he?

Each to their own, Bear.
