Guardian Glastonbury blog madness
Saturday, 23 June 2007
The Guardian’s bloggers have posted 13 times from the Glastonbury festival so far today, and 11 times yesterday. Perhaps a little excessive, considering the most obvious audience for this stuff is drowning in mud and cow shit on a farm in Somerset… and presumably hasn’t packed the MacBook.
The majority of comment seems to be from people who aren’t there, expressing glee that it’s absolutely pissing it down. I think it’s called Schadenfreude.

Even the Today programme (Radio 4, darling) has sent its plucky correspondent to Glastonbury this year.
I wouldn’t be surprised if half the Tory Shadow Cabinet shows up, wondering which stage Russ Conway’s going to be playing on.

Personally, I think Glastonbury is just an extensive business development exercise by manufacturers of up-market wellington boots.
