This photo nicely illustrates everything I hate about Glastonbury. Mud encrusted hippies, fresh from their art history degree in Bristol rolling ’round in raw sewage in what appears to be a construction site before going to watch Coldplay, very spiritual, very counterculture. Stuart Campbell also raises some interesting points.
And then lish said:
“Bands at Glastonbury have always had to fight in order to distract the audience’s attention from the bizarre sights elsewhere on Worthy Farm, but this year, the sights are so bizarre that it becomes a more difficult task than ever: what price Keane’s winsome melodies when the more basic pleasure of watching a tractor try to pull a beer lorry out of an enormous lake of filth is available just around the corner? ”
