Saw a bit of the fuss on Twitter. Loads of 40,50 year old baldies.

Not at all like their dads.

It's an insult! Real music isn't electric nonsense! (storms out of Dylan concert)

Or their grandads....

Awful racket! No talent whatsoever... where's Glen Miller when you need him?

It's like the first time fat headed men have ever gotten old and intolerant and been left behind by the times. Rather than something that's been happening predictably for as long as anyone can remember, and they were warned about repeatedly.



Personally, it's clear to me that because of the way Radio One came to be and developed, the eighties, nineties and noughties saw the myth of 70s rock supremacy stuck in a glass jar, keeping swathes of boring cunts locked permanent fantasy of always having known what was best. You can sort of see when Glasto got a bit pub-crowd safe as well. There were people slagging off New Order (Glasto 80) for having drum machines. Glasto 84 Sunday finished with Weather Report and Fela Kuti - not exactly Saxondale material. It's the line up in the 90s were they got more stages, and the main one turned into three days of less and less challenging retro-aping indie-now-that-indie-is-the-pouplar thing choices. Pulp... fine. REM. Not really retro. Primal Scream... No problem.. Then.... Oasis.... .Blur... Coldplay (over and over)... Stereophonics. The Who (honorable exception for sure). Rod fuckin Stewart. People got comfortable with a particular sound. They'd seriously prefer Eavis bought back Coldplay and their amazing supermarket musack sound - they'd just recognise the face, and fall asleep for a bit. Maybe it's time to set up a Robbie Williams comeback appearance? He had some good tunes.

As for Jay Z in 08 - of course he could do it, he had lives chops and the best players possible for that band, opened with an AC/DC riff that sounded like it was the coming of the apocalypse. They still hated it of course.

The times, they are a changing... someone wrote. Glasto started off like that. Then stopping them from changing to live that same moment again and again became massive business for record companies and promoters.

But then... The internet happened.

Eavis is such a bald **** anyway.
 
Missed Noel's set as my daughter forced me to watch Olivia Rodrigo....again! She was bloody good though.
