No, you can't just say that about Trump. What he says and what he does are often very different. Making knee jerk decisions based on his very fickle words would be a mistake.

My top 3 for February :   1. Sam Fender - People Watching (divides people on here but I’ve enjoyed it a lot) 2. Inhaler - Open Wide 3. The Lathums - Matter does not define   Also been listening to Blue Violet a lot which I missed in January but LOVE, and enjoyed Sharon Van Etten which would make no 4 if that’s allowed! 

How many acts would we say we’re still missing? Reckon we can expect any more significant names or is mostly just fodder now?

For me, the fact that it’s a lineup based festival, with no other entertainment, means that the lineup, kind of needs to be strong.   I don’t mean that in a disparaging sense at all. The festivals that i usually attend - EOTR and Green Man are more expensive for a weaker lineup (on paper). But you’re paying for the whole experience, and I’ve bought tickets for both before the lineup was released.   With Rock Werchter, though, I’m not sure if you could guarantee a ‘stronger’ lineup over 3 days. Potentially, I guess there would still be the same issues with touring schedules and exclusivity etc.   Compared to other festivals in Europe over 3 or 4 days, I think the lineup stands up really well.

Have to see what comes out of this summit..in long term they will probably have to do more, in short term though they can't fill the gap left of US stops arms shipments, and a ceasefire isn't going to happen without US driving it...so yeah he either signs or stands down and someone else does.
