A sense of perspective
It's not a religious experience, it's loads of bands playing. Also, referring to it as 'Glasto' when you return, while recounting tales of heroic drug abuse and sweaty bouncing near the front, only marks you out as a wanker of the lowest possible order. I hope you have a lovely time.

That's the ticket
Try and keep clean though. Smelly people are evil.

Although binky is an appropriate name for someone involved in glasto
'Oh binky you should have been there! Seb and theo got so drunk on lager they slipped and fell on my tent! Oasis were smashing.'

Nigel Blackwell has a good take on the issue
"You call Glastonbury “Glasto”
You’d like to go there one day
When they’ve put up the gun towers
To keep the hippies away"

Id go to this sort of thing if it werent in a field
If it wasnt expensive
If there werent hippies
If there were free pie
If it was mandatory that all females went topless.

Oh yes and if it werent in the back of beyond.

It is very, very expensive

There are plenty of far more expensive ways to go on a week's holiday,
and most of them don't involve more top bands than you can shake a stick at.

My problem is that I used to watch three ace bands for 50p
This is me in 1983 doing just that. I'm very, very old you know.

Those were Bradford's premier punk bastards, The Convulsions
Good times indeed.
