There’s never been a musical artist bigger than Taylor Swift. I’m not suggesting that’s a good thing but it happens to be true 

 

You could make a case for Michael Jackson being on the same level. Though infinitely less suitable as a Glastonbury headliner.

Do I take it you never watched the news in the 90s?

Unproven allegations. To the best of my knowledge. Maybe something has come up since that I’m unaware of

Paid most off, didn't he? Then ran away to Bahrain after he was acquitted? There certainly was an unusual amount of allegations. If it'd all happened today, I don't think so much would've been swept under the carpet and "forgotten" about.

somebody hacked this account me thinks.

 

Macca and Michael would say differently if there was a real argument about "bigger". Why is Beatlemania still being examined 60 years and counting? Taylor cured the planet with her music after a president got assassinated? Thought so. Billboard had it right when they gave Beyonce best artist last 25 years when they said that Taylor only sells but Beyonce actually had an impact on the culture. I mean putting thousands of people into crippling credit card debt should not be seen as an act of valor.

Marc Bolan and T rex played for 500 quid after the Kinks pulled out. Michael used to play Lola by the kinks to the cows when milking them. 
Bolan arrived in a fur covered limo. As a young teenager I Saw t rex in glasgow around the same time, First gig I ever attended. 

I would have loved to have seen T Rex, (ive got Cosmic Dancer pencilled in for my funeral song )what a superb talent.

What did the young Ayrshire Chris make of it?

Absolutely loved it. What a first gig to attend. At that time they were still playing some of the older Tyrannosaurus Rex stuff.

I've heard multiple stories of people saying what a good, decent bloke Marc Bolan was too. Michael Eavis even commented on what a professional he was. Really sad what happened to him.

Surely his death would make him infinitely less suitable as a headliner? 🙂

Maybe not been directly said, but the early and even mid years are barely mentioned when people talk about favourite acts etc

 

I think that's because lots of us were not there for those early years.

 

Believe me I'd love to be able to bang on about Bowie's set if I'd seen it first hand, or tell you which Blur headline set was better, but I can't.  I don't think anyone intentionally tries to hide the history of it - it is celebrated, and well documented.

Ermm....  me like a lot of others (sorry to say probably the majority) were either not born or were very young  when they happened - I have read the book thogh very interesting - though it does not qualify me to comment on the fest. 

 

I think if there was a thread dedicated to these years i would be interested to read it though.

This seems very at odds with your usual schtick mr 100 tills

 

Taylor is still very much at her peak now - bet people said the exact same about Beyonce when she was at her peak
