Christ RANDJGC pull that cork out of yer arse and start having some fun. It's just a music festival. You want to know how the music of and singing of such as Joseph Taylor has morphed into the type of music that you would pay to hear at CC? Why? Because it has. Naturally. Fine, if you want to hear music EXACTLY as it was way back when - listen to your recordings. Sit in a museum somewhere and take a big satisfied dump whilst thinking how righteous and authentic you are.

Music has changed in the last 50 years. In the 50 years before that it'd changed too, and it will again in the next 50 years. People like you and the BNP, harking back to how things were make me laugh out loud. The way things were? They were never like that and if they were it was only for a split second. Life moves on. Life changes. Music moves on, music changes. You sit in the past and moan about people getting off their arses and enjoying life if you want to, meanwhile, I'll enjoy CC thoroughly. It's a GREAT FESTIVAL. Delighted you won't be attending, like the fart in the lift you obviously are.
