I was surprised that the authorities in the US are linking the New Orleans attack to the blowing up of the Tesla outside a Trump hotel in Vegas. For me the latter seems obviously aimed at the President and Vice President elect.

I see Neil Young is sticking to his principles.

One headliner for the Glastonbury old timers I guess. He's definitely not one of those legends that everyone kind of likes and can have a bit of a sing along to though, is he?

A friend of mine went to see him in the 1970’s, he played one song and buggered off. Probably need to catch his dealer.😉

I understand Michael Eavis is particularly fond of Neil Young and they are getting him one last time for him. It won’t be a party vibe but I can see why they’re doing it.

If he's insisted that he'll only show up if the BBC don't show his set, I won't be shedding many tears.

I think he's back to playing again now.

I got quite into Neil Young after Glastonbury 2009, wasn't really consciously aware of his stuff before that but binged it for about a month after.

I had the same thing with David Bowie in 2000 (I think), had never really clicked with his stuff but he was amazing (and of course I knew every song he played despite thinking I knew almost nothing by him)

I've never seen Neil Young so won't comment on that but David Bowie had that (real) X-Factor on stage, a presence, that very few have. The unfortunate thing is that recordings (video or audio) can't tell you who has it, and who doesn't.
