Not at all.
Of all events, places and mass gatherings of people; Glastonbury is by far the most friendly, diverse and discerning (people) of all festivals. Great atmosphere.
I am not enamoured with the "big bands", although Fatboy Slim and Kings of Leon will be getting some serious attention this year. What i most loved about last year was seeing Squarepusher with only 50 people, Stanton Warriors, The Klaxons and Pete Doherty on a small stage. Sorry, Marley brothers exodus tour was pretty special as well. Its very personal and i find people to be fantastically friendly and mostly cultured; a far cry from other festivals in the UK or in todays societies. The history, the purpose and the scenery is all very inspiring, it is not hard to come away with a different perception from the "Little Britain" portrayal of the UK today.
I dont know, maybe i am talking shit; i just feel this is slightly different from other gatherings of people or marketing obsessed cattle grids.
