Scots Take Kylie Minogue Over the Boss, Yo La Tengo Ruins Hannukah, Should Gnarls Rerecord “Crazy”?
Now, read this.
When legendary UK summer rock festival Glastonbury returns next year, Bruce Springsteen will be headlining! Oh wait. No he won’t. This long-standing rumor has been put to rest. Bruce definitely will not be playing, according Emily Eavis, the festival organizer who originally was quoted as saying the Boss would headline the event. “He wasn’t even in the picture at any point, really, despite what some people have written,” she reportedly said. So who do we get instead? Possibly Razorlight and Kylie Minogue. Nice moves, Eavis.
Can you tell me what is wrong with the above? No? Well, let me tell you.
THE GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL IS NOT IN SCOTLAND. IT'S IN FUCKING ENGLAND! NOT SCOTLAND. THE VERY 'WOO, WOO, GROOVY' SECTION OF THE SOUTH OF FUCKING ENGLAND. (Paraphrasing Eddie Izzard). THAT'S WHERE IT IS! NOT SCOTLAND!
(And, on a slightly less shouty note, I'd like to point out that La Minogue and La Borrell are slightly bigger, make that massively bigger deals over across the pond).
Damn it, shouldn't a writer for Rolling Fucking Stone know that Glastonbury is in England? Or anyone, since it's kind of important in the whole Knights of the Round table thingy? Since Rolling Stone's blog appears to, ahem, liberate story ideas from the NME, you'd think they would have picked up on that fact. But, NOOOOO.
Of course, in the same article, the writer refers to a musician named 'Snoop Dog,' who may have some problems, since there already is a rapper named 'Snoop Dogg.'
Boy, I'm a bit ranty today, aren't I? You damn kids need to get off my lawn!
