The Party’s Over
Euro 2008 is over for another four years, and Glastonbury Festival has vanished beneath a mountain of trash and discarded sub-standard tents. It’s wonderful that this year’s patrons didn’t have to endure rain and mud, especially as my beloved sister — who’s a 60-year old grandmother — was there working hard, and partying even harder!
I was utterly horrified to realise that she and I did Glastonbury Festival together back in the Summer of 1977 — the weekend of 7th of the 7th ‘77 to be precise – 31 years ago…. Aaaarrrrggghhhh!!!!! Frackin’ freak out!
Of course, the great thing back then (before Glasto met corporate hospitality) was that you could get in for free by climbing over the barrier, or by strolling through any weakened areas in the fencing (weakened by kicking it wearing big boots and also pulling very hard).
I caught Joan Armatrading’s performance on the telly, and Joan’s classics just melt the heart, don’t they? Love and Affection, Willow, Tall in the Saddle…. they are all so exquisitely beautiful, and always make me feel all gooey and soft-centered.
So I’m now looking forward to this coming weekend, as it’s the British Formula One Racing Grand Prix at Silverstone, though sadly I’m too strapped for greenbacks to attend — but soon, I’ll be cheering at every GP of the entire season – all around the globe, oh yeah!
During my recent break from blogging, I got into watching some TV again, but Battlestar Galactica is taking a nap before engaging warp drive for the second half of the season, so what the frack am I supposed to do with myself in the meantime? Oh yeah…. work.
