I picked at it all weekend. Lots of stuff I had no time for - there always is - but unquestionable highlights for me were Sheryl Crow, The Cure and a young lady who is pretty special and heading for mega stardom I think - Billie Eilish. Very unusual. Really enjoyed her set.
The Proclaimers were on but I missed them. Maybe I should fiddle about for the red button. Bound to be self-congratulatory BBC highlights for a while.
I'm watching a recording of the Killers set from Saturday.
.....a little thing again from the er 'ello album, I say 'ello, 'cause I don't speak, er,,,atall well,,,,,from the Hello album, a thing called ROLL OVER LAY DOWN. (Rossi) Southend, Kursaal. 01:03:1975
Watched Babymetal's set (sky on demand is a great tool to miss all the crap). I like them. Metal should have a fun side.
Tried to watch Stormzy, but really what's it all about? A guy talking over backing tracks is a Glasto headliner... Can't get my head round that. Just plain boring.

I thought the same, regarding Stormzy. A Karaoke act as a headliner

Stormzy's the darling of the biz at the moment; no question about that. Not really my thing. Grime feels as distant and detached to me as Estonian folk music. I just can't seem to relate to it's inner city sentiments.
I guess that makes me completely out of touch. Fair enough. I can take it
To be fair to Glastonbury, they do have an enormous cross-section of acts appearing over 3 days. You're just as likely to get Dolly Parton or Tony Bennett as you are Foo Fighters or Mark Ronson. Or Quo. Very little metal as a rule but Motörhead did play there about 3 years ago.
I used to like it when John Peel or Mark Radcliffe presented on BBC. They were less up their own ar$es and quite humorous.
mortified: Why on earth is that back near the top of the charts? Only thing I can think of is that the concert was broadcast on BBC 4 on Good Friday. Unless I've missed something. Great concert though. It deserves to be up there

LOZ: has everyone fecked off on holibobs or cant anyone be arsed on ere anymore

mortified: No idea, Loz. It is very quiet. I just pop in every day to see if anything or anyone needs answered. I think with Quo not doing anything, there are other social media alternatives for people.

frozenhero: It's been over a year since anyone posted in the shoutbox. Is there anything that can be done to maybe gently revive this forum?
Aug 10, 2023 21:27:31 GMT
mortified: This message board is almost redundant. I look in every day, just to check on things. But very few come on here any more. The band winding down will be a contributing factor I'm sure. It's not really social media in any other sense.

PsychedeliCon: Many other communities that used to operate forums have switched over to using Discord Servers these days, which are a much quicker form of discussion. Also doesn't help that Quo haven't released anything new in quite a while.

frozenhero: I use Discord a lot, but somehow I can't see the majority of Quo fans switching to it. It's much more geared towards a younger demographic. Also, things get unwieldy quite quickly. I've always liked forums....
