Let's Hear it for Glastonbury

Agreed, I have hared hamas ever since finding out it was made of chickpeas.

Chickpea
Looks like a prawn and taste like a prawn 😳

I like Neil Young. He was OK last night but it should be highlighted that the likes of Young, Fogerty and Rod are around 80 years old.
Some of us will be glad just to still be alive at that age, let alone giving it some on stage.,

Rod has been good so far. A lot of newer acts seriously lack personality.

This is true, fair point

I’ll be having a sneaky look at Rod later once the mrs goes to bed. And as I’ll be sitting in my pants because it’s so hot I’ll have a wry smile to myself when he does do ya think I’m sexy😇

 

[BromleyMonkey]

Worth putting on for the rather pleasing to the eye young ladies he’s got on stage with him 😍

 

[Spindle]

It's shite.

Was it Jay-Z or similar t*** who headlined once, spent the entire set wearing a guitar and at the very end did a single open string strum before declaring what a great musician he is.

That is more information than I needed.

I watched Rod tonight and for 80 he was bloody good. Mind you the set was exactly the same as the one I saw him do in New Zealand 13 years ago. I thought Celeste was good value as well. Rest of largely not for this old fart!

If that is your aim, I would recommend streaming the Wet Leg set. I actually (no, I mean, actually) like the music. Bit Yeah Yeah Yeahs. But golly gumdrops, what a lead singer!

Yeah, good aren't they? I discovered them last year and mr. a kindly uploaded their album for me on staffie's thread.

Final note from me on this year's festival, although after a weekend away, I'm still dipping into iPlayer. Rod was just fun, old fashioned, anthem replaying entertainment and, like Monkey, I thought his backing girls were a great watch. Played well too. Seeing him with
his old mucker Ronnie Wood reminded me of seeing the Faces at the Windsor Jazz and Blues Festival in 1967. Memories.

Finally, finally - until fairly recently I assumed Charli XCX was a bloke. Stupid name anyway. So I watched her set and couldn't believe that she's won awards and been hyped to such an extent. Just a lot of unintelligible, foul mouthed ranting as far as I could tell. Not impressed.

Funny how music can bring back memories. My stepfather died forty years ago. His favourite song was "we are sailing" (navy for 25 years). There was a little tear when Rod played that as his finale. I kind of knew he would.

Ah, bless. Music sure is a wonderful memory jogger.

I know what you mean mate🥹 my dad died 32 years ago but I still well up when I hear ‘my way’ he was Sinatra mad and this was his funeral song. Even the sex pistols version gives me a lump in my throat 😳

Of course Rod was my priority, but I’ll have to have a look at your recommendation, it would be rude not to😇😁

I felt the same about The 1975. Friday and Sunday headliners seriously underwhelming.

...is the correct word.

Oh and on which I would also refer you to Wolf Alice. Same happy coincidence of really good music plus a pretty lead singer who appears to have come on stage in her underwear

 

[Hrolf The Ganger]

I watched Olivia Rodrigo. A pretty girl, but unfortunately, the best bits were when she wasn't singing.

And why does she have to say f***ing every 5 seconds? It's classless. Leave that to the lads.

Her girly angst stuff aimed at teenage girls is not really going to impress an old guy like me, even in her tight Union Flag shorts.

It’s still the 1970s in Hrolf’s house, apparently.

Noel Gallagher's opinion of Glastonbury.

"I don’t like it in music - little f**king idiots waving flags around and making political statements and bands taking the stage and saying, ‘Hey guys, isn’t war terrible, yeah? Let’s all boo war. F**k the Tories man,’ and all that. It’s like, look – play your f**king tunes and get off."

He added: "Donate all your money to the cause – that’s it, stop yapping about it"

He has a point. Has anyone seen the pics of the mountain of trash these people left behind. So concerned with saving the world aren’t they.

I said to my mrs last night can you imagine the rubbish left behind. When clearing up, it’s the crisp packets that don’t blow away in the wind you have to be careful with……if you know what I mean 💩😳
