over here in the uk at the moment we have the glastonbury festival going on.it's the largest outdoor festival on the planet with about 180,000 there.the last couple of years they've had a lot of rap and r'n'b which is not my cup of tea but this year they have fulfilled all of my dreams.friday nights headline act was neil young,who i am a big big fan of.he was excellent,but saturdays headline act was bruce springsteen.i've been watching glastonbury for many many years and i have to say that his was the best performance i've ever seen in all that time.he played for nearly 3 hours with no breaks,just one classic song after another.they have a 12-15am music curfew but he just carried on for another half hour.i've no chance of going to stand up gigs these days but i still have my "bands to see live before i die" list so thanks to glastonbury and the bbc i will scratch those two names of the list.tonight's the last night,i can't get any better........can it?
