[peel] Peel at Glastonbury

[Alan Ford]

Is it just me or ..
Did Glastonbury used to be mainly 'alternative' Peel-type acts that wouldn't
normally appear on day-time radio, and now it just seems to consist of the
same crap that you hear all day?
I reckon that Viz joke would have been much funnier with Beyonce instead of
U2 !

Rant over

PS I've never actually been. Would still like to go though - while I've
still got control of most of my bodily functions
