Garry Bushell for a start. Total tosspot.

Anyway, back to Glastonbury. Can't wait for Chic.

[HonaloochieB]

But as far as the other participants are concerned:

Keith Richards doesn't care about weather/sound problems as long as no one from the press comments on his current 'look' - a scarf worn under a long-sleeved T-shirt with the end of it peeking out draped over his left thigh.

The thigh being encased in his gardening jeans and his feet being shoddily shod in his oldest jogging trainers.

Cop yourself on Keith, man, I had a plumber round the other day whose working clothes showed more effort than you're putting in at the moment.

Gimme Shelter?

Give me strength for f@ck's sake, you look like a blind man with an indifferent attitude to clothes who sought advice from James May.

When he was incoherently drunk.

In a power cut.

At midnight.

Anyway it's not too late, you must still have a leopardskin/tigerskin jacket or two knocking about, a pair of leather strides you could have let out. No really, you must, please do it, while there's still time.

Please.

if you do, I'll find it my my heart to forgive the scarf/bandana/hanky.

There.

Charlie Watts - it's outdoors, it couldn't be less like Ronnie Scott's if it tried.

If it rains very hard he's walking, he still remembers nearly drowning under those bubbles in the 'I Know It's Only Rock 'n' Roll' promotional film.

He knows really that bubbles on a film set and heavy rain on a well protected stage in Somerset are not the same thing and he's just looking for an excuse to leave, but f@ck it he doesn't care.

Get Yer Ya Yas Out - "Charlie's good tonight, in'ee" - Charlie doesn't want any of that flummery, he just wants his singer to project to the first few rows and not be expansive.

Charlie knows his singer can't at least make 'jokey' references to the high ticket prices as he's done in recent shows, but he hopes he doesn't make any reference to the group supposedly taking a reduced fee to appear at Glastonbury.

If the singer does that AND it's simultaneously slashing down then the possibility exists it'll be sticks casually over the shoulders, the well-shod foot sending a cymbal or two to the floor and the clobbering part of rhythm section exeunt.

A thought occurs to Charlie, should he lamp the singer on the way out? He's done it before, after all.

But the notion dies aborning. Too planned, too showy. Not the jazz way at all.

Charlie reckons maybe he's spent too much time in business meetings with the singer.

Charlie feels a pang of guilt over the thoughts he's been having about his singer, he's had good times with him over the years and of course the group probably wouldn't exist without the singer's determination. Still though.

Charlie puts all thoughts of weather, walking off and singer punching and wonders in what medium he'll sketch his hotel suite.

Ronnie, aware of the above, doesn't actually wish himself back on Class A narcotics, but feels a certain nostalgia for

a time when it was all so easy for a working axeman to distance himself from it all.

But now as fully responsible Rolling Stone, Ronnie gets back to practicing his guitar parts from 'Emotional Rescue'.

Keith's allowed it to be played recently, so you never know...

[titch juicy]

Portishead sounding just brilliant

I won't say EVERYONE *Bob*, just everyone over the age of nine.

And talking about vomiting, adults who call their stomachs 'tummies'.

I'm unable not buy it JL. It's Wednesday, it's a full English and the NME.

Even a few years back when there was probably about less than 70 odd per cent of it that I had an interest in I had to keep on getting it. I tried not to one week, but felt so odd it wasn't worth continuing to abstain.

Used to buy all of the weekly inkies - working in the West End I got them a day earlier - I'm afraid unless a person didn't go home with the full weight (importance and heft) of Disc, Record Mirror, Sounds, Melody Maker and of course the New Musical Express, then a person was insufficiently informed of the music 'scene'.

It wasn't just me, surely.

[aquarius moon]

1) Sounds 2) NME 3) Melody Maker

They were proper music papers.

NME is a mag now & the only one left but not the same anymore.

Do you remember all the ads in the back pages for the Athena posters?

Magic. And so missed.

[Jah Lush]

I did the same Mr B. Working just around the corner from Fleet Street I'd rush out every Wednesday and get down there and get 'em a day early too. NME read first cover to cover and crossword done in minutes after a good chuckle at The Lone Groover.

Oooh! Chic are on. Have you read Nile's book? Bloody good it is too.

[maxxi]

Jeezus I remember the Disc & Record Mirror mid 70s but moved onto the NME by 76. Got Sounds now and then depending on what was on the cover - always seemed a lot thicker than the other papers - bit unwieldy. All of them must have been cheaply printed cause the ink came off on everything.

[Jah Lush]

Yeah...black fingers.

[malumbu]

I think my views have been well represented. Its a young people's festival, have young people's music. Plenty of space to accommodate old f'ckers like me in the other stages. Phoned the beeb up once to tell them to get that old f'cker Macka off the the telly when he was doing the headline a few years ago.

Chris Evans is only slightly younger than me but has never been before until they accommodated his radio programme and One Show on it today. He thought it was a bi-enniel festival, really well informed eh?

To his credit at least he didn't call it 'Glasto' as I stick my fingers down my throat.

I'm trying Greenbelt this year. I may have been interested in the Big Chill but it was cancelled again.

Got a shed load of NME's in the loft, if you look on e-bay you can frame the pictures and sell them for a reasonable amount. I could never complete the crossword, and found many of the articles too long (and bloody difficult to comprehend). But it was the thing to buy each Thursday.

[titch juicy]

the nme's been a comic/gossip mag for the best part of ten years now

since the libertines imploded they've been desperate to find another british 'scene' to claim for their own

their twice yearly front cover claims of a new band being the saviours of british guitar music (see; Courteeners, Vaccines, Brother et al...all painfully average bands) is all a bit simpering and pathetic

It's harsh. But accurate.

amazing how upset people can get by a convenient abbreviation- says a lot more about the people it upsets than the people that say/write it

* JL it is the work of but seconds to conjure up some of the words to one of the LG's classics

"Mucho,mucho,mucho marvey, I got a chick from Yugoslarvey"

It#s no wonder I still buy the magazine.

Who's upset? You don't have to be upset to call a knob a knob. There are a lot of them about and yes - they have been going for years. Still knobs. An observation. 's all.

Why does it make them knobs?

[maxxi]

Who can tell? I think it may be their upbringing.

eta- right about Portishead though.

TJ even if "it's been referred to" (by whom, by what?) as 'Glasto' for all future time as you claim, it doesn't make it right.

It's sh!t.

Oh, and to any adults calling 'shit', 'poo'.

At least remember (if only just for me), it can also be called 'excrement', 'dung', 'leavings' or even 'droppings'.

Anything but 'poo', unless you're under five or thereabouts.

Anyone full grown, always sounds creey to me. No matter how widespread it's become.

Classic.

I last bought it at Christmas coz Keef was the cover. Sadly, its glory days are long gone. I'll take a peak now and then but I'm a Mojo man now. Oldus Fartus as they say in Ancient Rome.

Thoroughly enjoyed Chic tonight.
