I think I’m all Glastonbury’d out from the massive Glastonbury coverage. With interweaving coverage on BBC2, BBC3,BBC4 and the Freeview interactive channels over the three days including today. It’s always hard to follow and filter it all. I think I had my ‘Tut tut , (rolls eyes)today’s generation’ moment last night whilst watching the Iggy and the Stooges footage after Iggy Pop encouraged the front rows onto the stage , causing self imposed anarchy to the proceedings and was watching a plethora of teenies and twenty somethings having to be coaxed into doing something faintly rebellious by a 60 year with more energy than all of them put together. So given their sudden stage sharing platform, what’s the most rebellious act I see? A banner held aloft by a small group keen to bring back the Cadbury Wispa chocolate bar!! Did I feel faintly superior that my own generation at their age would probably have seized the moment to proclaim ‘say no to cruise’ (the missile, not the Scientology film celebrity).
Ah the delusional superiority of age.
More people, fewer complaints, and less crime too – NO car breakins, NO thefts and only 2 complaints about the noise. Amazing.
‘The young people of today…’…bless their little cotton socks!
It wasn’t an act of rebellion, it was a demand. I was one of the lads carrying that around (not on the stage but at the festival). We like Wispas and so do you! You’ll be thanking us when you’re kids bring you a Wispa on your monthly day out from the home
LOL – It’s good to know that on my days out from the home you’ll have been fighting to make this world a better place for us all through you unflinching demand to reinstate the Wispa bar (Oh look, something else lame that was born in the 80′s, hmmm). Roald Dahl got in right when he asserted that all the great Brit choccie bars were invented before WWII. These younger bars just just have the staying power and stamina. If you’ll excuse me I’m off for a blue rinse perm and nice glass of tonic wine before they serve up me tea (it’s soup tonight you know). G’night son.
