6 days away camping with your mates, with loads of parties/artists at the top of their game. For under £400.

Sounds pretty good value to me.

I mean, how much would a couple of tickets to a Premier League game cost these days? £300+? For an afternoon…

My gripe is the absolute farce in trying to secure them!!

Put like that it makes a bit more sense, but i want cast iron guarantees on the weather not being shit :grin:

I think i’m just a bit more of a 1 night person, maybe because i like my bed and hate camping.

Watching the doco White Riot about the Rock Against Racism movement and wondering why vocal supporters of Enoch Powell and the NF such as Bowie, Eric Clapton and Rod Stewart haven’t been historically held to account for some of the savagely racist quotes they spouted to the press at the time.

Clapton has and still gets shit about it, he’s apologised and his excuse was he was a miserable, self hating, pathetic drunk at the time.
Wasn’t aware of the other two’s involvement.

Rod’s been doing a bit of community service, mostly on behalf of his Ferraris:

I’m still surprised Bowie has never been cancelled for his underage antics…

And John Peel.

Also, all this shit:

I dunno, I think in Bowie’s case he was drawn to the controversial aesthetics which he considered a bit subversive rather than the ideology and probably talked a lot of shit in interviews when he was off his head. In Clapton’s case I think he was always a bit of an arsehole (confirmed more recently during COVID) although again, I think he was completely wasted during the 70s which I guess is why he can’t remember much now. None of that gives either of them a pass for shitty behaviour but it should be factored in when retro-judging different landscapes decades ago

This is quite an interesting read on the matter

Yeah Peel is held up as some kind of sacred cow.

So it’s okay to be into hitler and racial purity, as long as you’re wasted? Maybe the whole 3rd reich thing was just a national Oktoberfest bender gone wrong.

Who said it was ok? Not me.

I just made the point that in the 70s people like Bowie or punks in swastikas sought to cause outrage in different ways and push things as far as they could. In Bowie’s case he was out of his mind and later repented. A lot of it was nihilism basically, but most of them grew up.

Which bit of that is untrue?
