There are many, many professional musicians who will tell you that they feel deeply uneasy with the way the Glastonbury organisers have threatened the incredible heritage and tradition of one of the worlds most recognisable music festivals with such a crass choice of headline act.

If JayZ wants to rip off a bunch of clueless idiots then there's plenty of other festivals for him to carry this out at - surely you would agree that it's a shame to see a festival of such venerable origins sell-out in this manner?

If a selling out of comparable means took place at Old Trafford, you'd be up in arms about it, so it's only natural that those who properly understand and cherish the importance of Glastonbury have their voice heard - Jay Z's performance was an utter disgrace, and an afront to the immense number of aspiring and yet struggling bands in the UK who fight to get recognition.

So thanks for your reply, but I'm fairly convinced that my opinion on Jay Z does have it's value, and I'll continue to say it for as long as the music industry at large is overwhelmed by American capitalism. You only object as you don't have the intellectual capacity to stand up and see what's going on. You're exactly the kind of sheep that record industry execs love fleecing.
Ah, I see, you are one of these people that only sees merit in music when he has a vocalist, two guitars, bass and drums layed out infront of him in the best formulaic way possible. I won't bother wasting my time arguing with a musical ignoramous like yourself then.

Thanks for saving my time.
