my life as a artist
carry on camping

Ah, the thirst-quenching wetness of words! Vague sweet moisture sucked from a sea of contemplation, blown inland on winds of inspiration, raised by mountains of granite will into the engirdling stratosphere of concept, then condensing and falling in laughing droplets of light, splashing meaning onto the arable farmland of our parched and outstretched tongues. Plop!
Did you notice how the exclamation mark looks like a pictogram depicting rain? Speaking of which…
I read the news today, oh boy!
Ten thousand discarded tents in Glastonbury, Wiltshire,
And tho' the tents were rather small,
There was nothing wrong with them at all,
Now they know how many thoughtless, bourgoise brain-outs were at a greenpeace fest-i-val….
I'd love to turn them on… to the fact that there's similar sized out-of-town gatherings currently going on all over Africa, called refugee camps, and would like to point out the ghastly irony of their actions. Yeah, whatever!
Every day, 300 million people in Africa live on less than one euro a day, (that's each, not between them) while the cows that now graze on Mr Eavis's farm, along with all the other cows in Europe, receive a daily subsidy of two and a half euros (that's each, not between them), which they mostly spend on drugs. I don't know if that's irony, but it's certainly ghastly.
Rick Astley was ghastly as well, but in a vastly different way.
Comments
Rick Gastly recently played in Shrewsbury at a 80's revival gig along with Toyah, Heaven 17 and a few others. Luckily, I didn't have to be within earshot. You have my sympathy and respect for your ghastly ordeal.

Glastonbury isn't in Wiltshire - it's in Somerset.
Otherwise, very funny...

I see 2 weeks of Festivals hasn't mellowed your acerbic wit. Keep it up!
