lol it was hillarious when the fence camedown. That was the best year ever. proper madness.Shame it's turned into the radio 1 road show. If Kanye West is playing (headlining!!!!!) at the 08 event does anyone know a good sniper?

Ah! the travellers were great craic,used to give the place a nice edgey feel some mad techno nights up on the hill by the east carparks.think its better at the smaller festivals now.though i have had some of the best times ever at Glastonbury.:)

i was there the first year he fucked the travellers off,it`s funny things that start can start off sort of underground ,decadent and liberating end up neatly packaged only for the same corporations to make shit loads of money out of,punk,the rave scene,festivals.If theres gonna be cash in it they just take over and change the rules

Does anyone remember the laser beam that used to be generated at the back of the pyramid stage and be trained on Glastonbury Tor 8 miles away? Ahh those were the days.

Michael Eavis is very cool for a farmer.
