The Stones have been around for so long and done so much that you could probably fill the entire thread with the millionaire pensioners.

From nerve we'll go to 19th Nervous Breakdown.

Would medicinal compound help with that breakdown?

Taking the link to PINK

[oneeye]

From Pink to CHAMPAGNE

Whisty, I will be at the weds meet, all being well. No idea how anyone is going to recognise anyone else; I'm tall, grey haired, fast approaching 50 with 2 eyes lol. Probably going to be sporting a quality crimson and white flowered Hawaiian shirt, something low profile

[grumpyhack]

From Champagne to Bucks Fizz.

Boy bands are nothing new. Bucks Fizz were a put-together band who won Eurovision for the UK in 1981.

All most people can remember was the skirt rip dance sequence - wow really daring stuff!

Look forward to the Wednesday meet. I'll have my Grumpyhack T Shirt on with my Avatar. Other than that I'm 64 with a beard aka Pete.

I look just like my avatar but have to leave the girl in my tent, she's fine if we're just walking around but gets embarrassed if I start talking to people. I will have the fag tho.

What time Mr C? I think you're a late arrival, I plan on getting there not long after 6 prob be gone by time you get there. Don't want to stay too long and get mashed! Have to walk 1st timer kids round as well And I'll look out for Cyclops in a Hawaiian Brandycoke, reveal yourself.

HORSE is the link word, Mark Linkous sadly missed.

Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse -- Little Girl (fea:

whisty, we're aiming to arrive about 4, but then set up and eat curry, so it will probably be nearer 7 (ok, 8 really) when I get there. If I don't see you on Weds, maybe Thursday is better during the day, bring the lady...

Safe trip Mr Hack

Link to horse. There was a band called America who had a hit with A Horse With No Name.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm4BrZjY_Sg

Scary story that I may have told before (apologies to those who've read it before). Back in the 70s I was an journalist working as part of an investigations team for The People (when it was quite a good investigative newspaper).

I was doing a story about Hells Angels and had to take three of them away and spend some time with them. One of them boasted about how they used to do 'security' at music festivals.

"Do you remember that band America?" he asked. "Well they don't have a drummer any more. I was doing stage security and this bloke tried to get onto the stage and I threw him off. He tried to get on again, so I threw him off again. The third time he tried he said something to me that made me angry. So I picked him up and broke his back.

"I thought he called me a bummer but it turned out he was trying to say that he was the drummer. So that's why the3y don't have a drummer any more. Funny innit?"

We may complain about security at festivals today but things have moved on a lot so be grateful.

Good story there grumpyhack. Sticking with America we go to VENTURA

[grumpyhack]

My last post here before Glasto. Alarm set for 6.30, though somehow I think I'll be awake. Last pack of toothbrush and fresh food and on the road by 7am. Collect Drewstrat at 7.30. Hook up caravan at 8.00 and meet the rest of the gang at 8.30 to form our convoy.

So, although the word to link to is Ventura, I'm going to cheat and link to highway with the word Wild.

or to celebrate our convoy

From post to lamppost to light to GASLIGHT; a tad tenuous I know

Gotta be opening Other Fri eh?! See you all tomorrow!!!

[whisty]

Sorry to anybody I missed. Did go wed, got there early, no flag. Waited away a bit, saw the flag and 2 things got me. 1, was so tired after being in the q all night, had nothing left in my brain. 2, Still felt uncomfortable walking into the middle of a crowd without knowing somebody. I guess there's always next year. Hope you guys had a great time

[grumpyhack]

From Gaslight to a more modern Laser

These performers were so good I went and saw them twice in the Cabaret.

This video doesn't really do them justice but it's all I could find.

Good to put faces to a few names but sorry we didn't get to meet up Whisty. Next year......

[carlosj]

From laser to BROTHERS

The Chemical Brothers | Hey Boy, hey Girl - Live :

Good to meet some fellow eFesters this year :-)

[grumpyhack]

When you think Brothers at Glastonbury you often think CIDER

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfSEje--5PI

The Wurzels who packed out the Avalon for a great singalong

Alternatively a choice with Dire Straits Brothers in ARMS Wembley 1985

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb_Jzgnrpv8

I slip this one in because I reckon Mark Knopfler still leave most guitarists standing. Sadly, didn't get to see John Illsley at Glasto this year but not sure about a bassman without the lead.

[brandycoke]

Had great intentions of meeting up, but unfortunately circumstances wouldn't allow, hope you all had a great time.

Just loaded up iTunes to look for a suitable link, and it won't find my music,even though it damn well knows where it is.

Fourth time this has happened in as many years and its really annoying ,as i have quite a lot of music and it takes ages to re-do.

I 'm not even that keen on my iPod, as sound wise, my near ten year old iriver completely knocks its socks off.

Apple rant over.

Link is mine.

Mines and Coal go together in South Wales so another soul man Lee Dorsey and Working in a COAL Mine.

I'll avoid Thatcherite politics linking to coal and go to WHIPS - Devo covered the above song.

In politics if you have whips there is usually a CHIEF Whip to prevent a rebellion or riot.

On a non-musical note Cynthia Payne built a career providing services for politicians. Fun film from one of the Pythons.

Chief to POLICE

The Police - Message In A Bottle:

[grumpyhack]

Police often found at Glasto on Horses

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeGUUZnPOi4

"They Shoot Horses Don't They?" was a very powerful 1969 film directed by Sydney Pollack and starring Jane Fonda about the dance marathons held in the depression of the thirties. Also inspired this song by Racing Cars - one of the great under-appreciated bands of South Wales.
