This year's Glastonbury festival of
contemporary performing arts has managed to avoid the
controversy generated by last year's choice of headline act:
hip hop artiste Jay-Z.
Despite returning to form with a series of guitar-based bands for
this weekend's shindig including The Boss and Neil Young at
the, a'hem, contemporary festival, organisers appear keen to
point out that
hip hop remains a key part of the Glasto experience in
the early 21st century.
The Eavis family appear to have made their decision and they are
clearly sticking to it. Last year was not a mistake and to prove
it we are going to have more hip hop than ever before they seem to
be saying, slightly defensively.
Still, all will be forgiven if the standard downpour is avoided for
a few days. Sunglasses and wellies at the ready.
