Michael Eavis sucks at maths
Jan 20, 2009
That's right, the THREE night Glastonbury Festival seems likely to have FOUR Pyramid Stage headliners this year. The BBC have reported Eavis as stating that:
"You'll be amazed when you hear the headliners we've got coming this year, and we've already sold 90 per cent of the tickets for this year already."
He added, "We've got four headliners at the moment. If they all confirm, then I've got two headliners for Saturday."
It's all a bit reminiscent of that day back in 2001 when then Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier knew he urgently needed a goalkeeper to replace the error prone Sander Westerveld. He approached both Jerzy Dudek and Chris Kirkland, and somehow, on transfer deadline day, ended up signing both by mistake. But, you know, with bands. Let's hope that Michael Eavis takes a leaf out of Mr Houllier's book: just as he quickly realised that Kanye West was a terrible goalkeeper and was therefore not under any serious consideration, Eavis should realise that he's a terrible musician, and not consider him either. It looks like Blur, Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young make up three of the headliners (and pretty stellar headliners too, in fairness). Much as we'd love to see Portishead as the fourth, it probably will be Kanye. Him or Jerzy.
