And Finally Artist News Gigs & Festivals
Top Glastonbury talking point? Kanye’s subtitles
By Chris Cooke | Published on Monday 29 June 2015
So, having closely monitored the social networks all weekend it seems like the stand out acts at Glastonbury this year were, well, whichever artists or bands you already liked. Yes, they were great weren’t they? But all those other bands you didn’t already like? Well shit, I tell you, what a waste of space, what were they thinking etc etc etc.
Lionel Richie was in the ‘everyone loves this old timer’ slot of course, so everyone loved that older timer, though most people seemed to be more keen to post snaps of the Dalai Lama onto their social timeline of choice. And as for Kanye West’s slightly contentious headline slot on Saturday night? Well, hey, what, yeah, right, you know what I’m saying, yeah, right, of course you do.
Though, despite character comedian Simon Brodkin’s hilarious (yeah?) stage invasion, I think everyone agreed that the real highlight of West’s performance was the BBC’s subtitling of his more controversial lyrics. Well, everyone watching at home agreed that. Proving once again, that this banker is best viewed from the comfort of your living room.
