who was he?   
spent 30 min watching some talentless freak with a guitar and a red hooped 
t-shirt open Glastonbury with the dismalest collection of 'songs' I ever 
heard

and I still do't know who he is so I can avoid it ever happening again

Why spend 30 minutes watching him if you weren't enjoying it?

I gave Crosby Stills and Nash two songs before deciding (in some 
disappointment) that they weren't enjoying it, they didn't care whether 
or not the audience were enjoying it, and they were only going through 
the motions.  Then I stopped listening to them and did something else 
with my life.

I couldn't change things because I was preparing some nosh

When I finally was able I fast forwarded right into Simple Minds/David 
Albarn, then ages trying to get the start of their set and kept getting 
matey back again.

gave up and took to drinking instead

I watched that on the TV.

It was deeply embarrassing.

Note for note perfection with no feeling at all,  and even more embarrassing 
clothing.

You'd have thought they'd have progressed just a little bit in the last 
forty years...

Not quite as embarrassing as Neil Young trashing the strings on a
guitar.

I half expected him to set fire to it.

I missed that.

After CSN I'd had enough of old men in bad clothes playing old songs to an 
audience of old men covered in mud.

And I though folk was moribund...

Actually I thought some of the harmonies were off. I was disappointed with 
them. Ditto Neil Young.
