More disillusionment. (Sorry, it's not the best way to start the week, i realize that.) The music festival scene in the UK is being consumed by a Beverly Hills company whose board members are also running Clear Channel. Deep-pocketed W associates, one of the more offensive pro censorship, corporate media godzillas. That the founder of Glastonbury "doesn't have a problem with the Bush thing" is the height of cynicism, given the politics of so many of the performers there and probably most of the people who attend. i guess all the fuss about whether Jay Z belonged on the Glasto stage was an easy way to steer clear of this issue... as long as everyone had a good time, who cares where the profit is going????
