Oh that boy is a slag the best u ever had , the best u ever had is just a memory and those dreams but weren't daft as they seem , not as daft as they seem..
Prime Minister. PM A famous Bravenetter from "the good old days. Sometimes he would use rapper names. Most of the time, the initials of his name would be, of course, PM. He didn't date much on Bravenet. He was, however, the subject of almost every female Bravenetters wet dream. It was almost a prerequisite to being a Bravenet to have a crush on PM. This could be because he was funny, or because a witty person on Bravenet is assumed to be hot.
No pictures of PM have ever surfaced, so we can safely assume he is pretty hot. Or we hope he is. PM, the person, loves video games and reading. It is unknown as to whether or not he has ever gone out with anyone, especially anyone associated with Bravenet. Appeared to be on good terms -- All in all, PM reminds us of the good ol' days of Bravenet. We were on a roll ok!.. This knocked a few of them to the ground as they had been standing on therirvehicle stupid when i hit it.
FORWARD i screamed at myself, floored it, nudged them enough to unbalanced the bloke who was trying to retrieve his Axe from the roof, presumably to have another go.
Delaying my exit further!!.. Someone told me later that a security pickaxe handle had missed my head by inches! We are shouting for the release of Ian.. A high ranking carefull officer tells me they have released Ian. Up to that point i had not set eyes on the guy,never mind best mate!!
They have released him.. Bloody marvelous A RARE victory over the police.. One which no doubt they would deny. Ian, he had to run the gauntlet of the 20 pigs who tried to smash his ankles as he left.. Still the truth though.. Later,after meeting Ian, he recalled hearing us lot outside the cells chanting for his freedom.. What happened?
So he did.. The next day the police came on site looking for witnesses against the security but most people wont talk to them.. Whats the point??.
Thats about it folks. A different perspective on that day. From someone who was there This account gives a different perspective, as the participant was present at a different set of events.
This is the rig that we were ambushed on , on the Monday after most of the weekend punters had gone and babylon commercial zone as well gavin decided to go for a blatt to see what could be tatted Ist stop was the right-on rainbow brigade in the traffic free green field where the tee-pee dwellers were quick to shoo our big smelly diesel guzzler away , despite our pointing out several of their mates's VW's etc parked in the field..
Then off to visit the brain washing christians.. Our tour continued through the security fencing behind the pyramid stage , where those still dismantling lighting frames etc were less than friendly in their greetings A photo of Gavin's Albion arriving at glastobollox in More landys arrived inc. E so asked her to help me slink off as if we were a hippy couple just floating passed this uncool incident..
So it was a bit of a shock to arrive at the ambush site to find the Albion had been driven off , Gavin as well , but still a good dozen over muscled gorilla's waiting for us waving fencing posts etc above their heads Despite this we all got away , apart from Paul , who we could see getting a real pasting resulting in hospitalisation for facial injuries , severly mashed fingers etc.
Later that day most folks were 'summoned' to Lyn Lorian's decker to explain ourselves.. The account you sent me is interesting as it gives background to why things were generally bad with this security firm , I remember the fight in the farmyard at Treworgey We watched and listened in to the Battle of Yeoman's bridge without taking part in the trouble - it simply wasn't our fight and we stayed well out of it.
We had a mobile phone, which was pretty remarkable for those days, and I kept a radio scanner in my van which could listen in to police frequencies. It had proved its worth the year before at Stonehenge when I had five minutes warning that the mounted police were about to charge, and which direction they were going to go. We got out of the way, warning everyone on the way. A couple of dozen of us had a perfect pitch in the orchard at the bottom of the valley and as far east as you can get.
We had originally planned to put on a multimedia event in the orchard - the ideas we were rehearsing for what eventually became the club Megatripolis in But it was going to be loud and when Eavis found out at the last moment that we planned to have techno playing he pulled the plug on the deal.
But we were left with the otherwise empty orchard and parked up under the trees with the van doors opening out onto the stream just where it came out of the hills and into the site. It was clean enough to bathe in. It was all a bit idyllic. I'm still amazed that nobody thought to look through the gap in the hedge and realise there was a whole empty flat shady camping field next to the river. When it all kicked off we watched the traveller flatbeds heading into battle and the security Landys darting about.
It looked a bit like the old Wild West meets Mad Max. I tuned in the scanner and heard the police being told to retreat to the farmhouse and not to get involved in the ruck. It wasn't their fight either. But they formed a line underneath the farmhouse and gave refuge to any security guards who made it that far. The rest were left to the wolves. Security had been arrogant thugs all week. The organisers knew about it but weren't going to deal with it. Neil Oram had been coordinating the Green Field and I was going to be his gofer, but he watched too many kids getting beaten up and robbed as they came in over the fence on Tuesday.
Neil told a key organiser about it and was told it was none of Neil's business. He promptly resigned. The last time I went was in and I doubt if I'll go again. Marcus Pennell. We can contrast these events by concluding with this post from Martin Ashford, who was a long time Glasto veteran. The 80's were really, really good overall and things actually got better and worse at the same time! It got bigger with every successive year and became very commercial on a micro level Thatcherism on acid was one apt description.
Glastonbury was a hotbed of laissez faire capitalism with half of the people attending appearing to be selling something to the other half - on the other hand the dawn of the Green fields acted as a focal point for all the alternative stuff out there not to mention new technologies - my first ever view of a mobile phone was in the Green Fields - it was about a foot long! Some great music and some real cobblers as well - Simply Red anyone?
The weird thing is, the music programme has actually changed very little. Gotta mention one thing - there was absolutely NO trouble to speak of in those years - I remember being really shocked in '87 when two blokes started fighting - this just didn't happen, ever!! A fter all this talk of rumbles and violence its easy to forget that for three days before 70, people had listened to music and mostly had a damn good time. There don't seem to be as quite as many recordings around as there were in the late 80s, possibly the BBC were there in less force than in previous years.
But anyway here's what we have found so far by diligent scouring of all sources we can find. Lipsticked to the max - Headliners for Saturday night - The Cure The Cure stops playing during "Fascination Street" and then replays the entire song. This because the set is interrupted by a helicopter that lands in the crowd to pick up a girl who was hurt in the body crush in front of stage.
The Cure. Glastonbury BBC Documentary. Bill Oddie goes to the Glastonbury festival looking at the lifestyles, music and people there, including those for whom the area has a particular spiritual significance, especially at the time of the summer solstice.
