Are you going? We’re this close to tickets for Björk at Wilderness instead, except there’s a rumour going round about Depeche, you know they’ve never done Glasto? Incredible. We’re in the tipi village, so if you’re interested the plan is to gather around the fire pit with our backs to the Pyramid stage when Kanye comes on, do this silent protest, then strew some flowers in memory of the authentic Glasto aesthetic, share some fizz, bit of a smoke, go hang out in the Green Fields, like the old days, were you there for Quintessence when it was still Glastonbury Fayre? Maybe if enough people show the Eavises how much pain all the sponsorship and greed has caused, next year they’ll remember the old Pilton atmos and stop running after rap artists nobody’s heard of.
In 1984, nobody knew about the Smiths, well not outside Manchester, remember the stage invasion, that was before security ruined everything, you could just wander freely. Well I never got shot or anything, it was just the Glasto vibe, wasn’t it, back in the day nobody bothered about violence or cashpoints, not that there was any serious robbery before all the electronic stuff, we just shared what we had, then they beg Kanye to come along and smash all that cultural history.
I’m hugely offended by his use of the n-word, and his manners, wasn’t he really rude to Taylor – sorry, senior moment – Sparrow? I’ll never forgive Emily for selling out when it’s us original fans coming back with our families who made the festival, after four decades you deserve a say on the headliners. I’d go for Galliano, or they could offer a discount, the prices are insane if you’re managing on a pension.
I’m afraid we’ve filled the tipi, couldn’t you hire one? Around £950, bargain when you think what even a basic hotel would charge, with none of the appalling noise you get around the yurts. And God the people! Call me an old hippy, but the whole place has gone to the dogs.
