It was great to see so much coverage of Glastonbury over the weekend. On BBC 2 and 3 continuously with two more options on the red button this must surely have been the most televised live event in the history of broadcasting. Regardless of all the moaning about commercialisation and losing its 'edge', the popularity of Glastonbury and countless other festivals throughout the summer is something I see as a wonderful reflection of the creativity and positivity in the UK today. I'm old enough now to remember a rather different country, which was trying to bash youth culture over the head with a big stick.
I was going to have a whinge that it was a shame, with over 200 bands playing (most of them British :D), we got endless repeats of Lily effin' Allen, Mika and a BabyShambles set where the camera focused more on Kate Moss, but it could be a lot worse.
