Grandma gets ready to get down at Glasto

The organisers of the Glastonbury Festival are worried that the attendees are too "middle-aged" and "middle-class."

Would it be too unkind to point out that 1970 was 37 years ago and that Glastonbury is mostly an exercise in nostalgia that appeals less to young people than to aging BBC executives who still yearn after their salad days? The organisers are lucky that the mud wallow they call a festival isn't strewn with abandoned Zimmer frames.
