They say some people are suckers for punishment. But how can it be bad if it feels so good? Eleven years ago Manic Street Preachers bassist Nicky Wire entered Glastonbury folklore with the quote: "They should build a bypass over this shithole". But low and behold if it isn't those same Nicky and the Preachers playing the Pyramid stage this Sunday. It is just too good to stay away. And on this subject I can speak with a little bit of authority given my tent's position in the flooded plains of somerset circa Glastonbury 2005.
This year I've learned from all the mistakes from the last festival and am rip-roaring-ready to make a whole bunch of new ones. But I won't be watching the Manics on Sunday evening as Beirut is playing the jazz stage at the same time. Of course it is always a matter of opinion and taste but feel free to download my crib sheet for the Glastonbury 2007 festival recommendations and must sees.
