That's probably one of the shiyest line-ups in the world ever.

BRING BACK MONSTERS OF ROCK!!!

How many REALLY good people are on that bill?

Status Quo, Brian Wilson and Jools Holland. That's it.

Actually, Mr. Reaper, you may be interested to hear that OZRICS are regulars at Glastonbury. And, they go down really well each time.

I've never been to the Glastonbury festival but I should have when I had the chance. When it was still good.

It looks like these days it's just another commercial venture.

It used to be legendary.

Damn shame but that's the shape of the music biz in general these days.

I wonder how today's music fans would react if they saw Ozrics at the festival?

Depends how much they're stoned, but I can't think of a better band to play at Glastonbury, they look exactly like the people that hang out there.

Someone give me advice. I fucking LOVE the White Stripes (no comments please) but i don't know if it's worth going just for that! Thoughts please!

Soul Reaper

I like The White Stripes but that's just one out of about fifty bands playing. I wouldn't waste my time and money waiting just for one band when I don't like the other fifty.

Shaun Ponsonby

Nah!
