So what do you think so far.
We’ve tried to get tickets in the past without success, when the show appears to be cr@p, there are loads unsold, funny that.
At least in the digital TV age we have plenty of choice with the famous red button, having said that, it’s not coming across well is it.
We have a massive range of tastes in this household, but what has so far been presented has been stretching it a bit.
We also get a bit p####d off with the amount of time spent by the presenters in self congratulatury chat, show the music for Gods Sake, even if it’s crap to me, someone will appreciate it.
Lets deal with the deliciously talented Amy Winehouse.
Now I mean that, but until she gets her head sorted out, and by the looks of her, her physical well being too, let her mumble to herself about her criminal husband at home, not inflict it on everyone else at a concert.
Quite frankly she was awful, no surprise there, it was obvious from the audiences luke warm response and her way of dealing with it by threatening people, that enough is enough.
It’s very sad that such a talent should end up like this, I’m not so sure that she will recover from it, maybe, perversley that when dear hubby comes out of jail, it might help her out, hopefully he will go round and give that rebrobate Pete Docherty a good kicking that he deserves and keep them apart, and let the mouse go.
C’mon Amy, we appreciate your talent, it’s easy to say, but we would like you to sort yourself out, you should be a world class cool dude, make it so, hard though it maybe within yourself.
We then go on to the contraversial headliner Jay-Z.
Me, I hate Rap, thought it was a disgrace he was on. My youth was nagging to watch him, so I bit the bullet and did so.
I thought he was fantastic, hate the music, sort of, but his proffesionalism, delivery and genuine rapport with the audience was the dogs, top marks to Jay-Z so far, I just found that the drooling commentators remarks afterwards that he was the only act along with Radiohead to really be the business at Glastonbury, was a bit much, he was very very good, but!!!
What have we got to look forward to tonight, not a lot, Neil Diamond, don’t make me laugh, have the BBC got a deal going with this man, he’s been shoved down our throats for the past few months, every time you turn on the radio you have this arrogant **** praising himself, ‘One of the Greatest Songwriters of all time’, compare him to Lennon/Macartney, Jagger/Richards, well anyone in fact, well, lets not even consider the Monkees shall we.
I know that Joan Baez is on tonight, presumably this icon of music will be sacrificised for the great and good Diamond, but what do we know, I don’t have to back comb my hair and look suitably moody and pretend to be the originator of modern music to avoid him. There are more important people in the history of modern music.

Isn’t Winehouse the lass that’s mentally unstable??
The media keep trying to make excuses for her, how long this will last I don’t know. She is in big trouble, her performances are really awful, although no one is prepared to state this, but then again the sun shines out of Pete Docherty’s backside and he gets away with it, he seems to be booked at every concert going, so who knows what will happen, nobody cares, if the sickoes are prepared to pay to see these troubled people, they will keep going until they finally drop, which even Mick Jagger thinks will happen to Winehouse. As long as it has nothing to do with mice.
She is so obsessed with her criminal husband that we think that when he eventually comes out of stir, there maybe a bit of trouble, in which case she may top herself.
A great talent of unfortunate self destruction, I can’t see her surviving much longer. What do you think.
