    One man’s dream turned into one of the biggest music festivals in the world. When you have the right mentality you can achieve anything.

    It's funny when he talks about the folk music soothing his heard of cows in 1970 then thinking about how they'd react to hearing the likes of Stormzy and Jay-Z in the 21st century 😄

      But just because someone has been, it doesn’t make them better than someone who hasn’t. Sadly we live in a society in the UK where people are obsessed with showing off their house, car, holidays, posting everything about their lives on social media, afraid that other people have better lives than them. Attention seekers simply lack in confidence if they need “likes” to make them happy.

    So many old school Glastonbury people hate what the festival did to their once peaceful paradise. The festival completely destroyed the peace and tranquility that once existed there. Over time, the population went up hugely, drugs and crime became a terrible problem, locals were priced out of the area and noise and pollution became ubiquitous there. And it all started with one guy - Eavis - trying to clear his overdraft.

    "We've got about 30 stewards and securicor on the gates", love it. We did a lot of festivals around this time, its a shame that some the idiots at the Isle of Wight ruined the vibe by demanding that all festivals be free, and tried to pull all the fences down. By the way, those toilets looked posh compared to some of the festivals I went to then!

    Disgraceful man. The way he lied to the media and public about Christopher Shale’s death at Glastonbury in 2011 being a “suicide situation” when it in fact was a heart attack was appalling.

    • @samuelwilliams9224
      @samuelwilliams9224 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      who cares if he mistakenly identified the cause of a rando tory mp's death a day later? as so did the police? and so did all msm right-wing rags (including the times, the express and the mail). you know michael eavis isn't the nation's top toxicologist right? he could only relay information that he had been given and to think that's a slight on his character is laughable.
      hope you always bring up a dead tory when insulting a public figure as at least that cushions the blow somewhat. would call you a "disgraceful man" but i feel like "man" is probably a stretch in this situation.
