SchadenfreudeThere's nothing like administering first aid to cyclist who has just spanged into the back of a milk float when you have tears of laughter running down your face. The world is just one long episode of You've Been Framed - when have you laughed at the misfortune of others?

Glastonbury 97The year of the great quagmire, those who couldnt hack it went home (bands included - where did THAT get you now, Kenickie??) Those who stayed looked at eachother and promptly doubled the amounts of drugs they consumed to cope with it all.
Prodigy, hot on the back of their long awaited fat of the land album, had the much coveted friday night headline slot, and took to the stage like overexcited twats, proceeding to spend more time running up and down telling us who they were and how mental they were, rather than making with the songs, while the rest of us stood in the foot-deep shit, unable to dance properly due to wellied feet glued to the bedrock, and soaked to the bone.
20 minutes in, "Maxwell" approaches the front of the stage, and embarks on an extensive rant which went as follows:
"WE ARE THE PRODIGY *SCRATCHY-SCRATCH!* WE ARE UNSTOPABBLE! *SCRATCHY SCRATCH! NO FUCKER CAN BRING US DOWN! AN EARTHQUAKE COULDN'T STOP US! A FUCKINTIDAL WAVE COULDN'T STOP US! *SCRATCHY-SCRATCH!* A HURRICA-WHEEEEEEEEEE-choomp."
And as the stage lights immediately died, along with the entire mainstage sound system, and it became clear that the perpetually pissing rain had induced an impromptu interlude; quite a few thousand punters pointed as one and went "...aaaaahahahahahahahah!"
One of the best gigs of my life.
