It does make the media look really out of touch, they're just words, and arguably are part of what makes the festival so culturally relevant.(which is why in my archivist mood I'm very much annoyed to see that the BBC are now censoring the on-demand version of that set, it's likely to be the most historically relevant part of this festival!)
June 29Jun 29 It's great to see bands bringing the politics back to the festival, instead of the middle class knees up it has been for ages.Must admit I was surprised Neil Young was very quiet in this regard, unless I missed something. He normally has quite a bit to say
June 29Jun 29 Music has always been political in the sense it is influenced what is happening in our culture and is about indiviual expression, it's so dystopian seeing this censorship and politicians limiting what can be said, it's sad we're at a point where it needs to be the musicians that call out this injustice because the government are too much in Israel's pocket but here we are. Calling it 'Appaling' and a police investigation...seriously just f*** off, why is this language not used to describe what the IDF are doing to Gaza?Streisand effect and all, I now really want to check Bob Vylan out, hopefully the set materialises somehow on YouTube x

They did it with Corbyn as Labour leader too and it continues. It’s about preventing opinions which makes things worse!
June 29Jun 29 Pulp (Patchwork) were predictably brilliant! Jarvis Cocker is still one of the greatest frontmen.
June 29Jun 29 Prodigy pretty good. Olivia Rodrigo brought out Robert smith and did a couple songs with him. Big contrast in the two stages but both 9/10
June 29Jun 29 There's a lot I need to catch up on from over the weekend but decided to watch Olivia as it happens and the Robert duets were a nice surprise!They've done 'Friday I'm In Love' and 'Just Like Heaven' ❤️
June 29Jun 29 Kind of odd that Rod Stewart sang the Crazy Horse song and Neil Young didn't.Prodigy delivering as expected
June 30Jun 30 Just catching up with sets I wanted to see. Alanis Morissette and Jade were awesome. Watching Scissor Sisters now!
