So you are trolling. Because anyone who actually believes music played at home is the same as being at a concert, is stupid. You're not stupid are you?

So basically, every concert ever is a waste of money?

I am guessing you are a "bare essentials" type, so. :pac:

they show their hand though when they start to dislike said things, due to fact that the masses have caught on that it is actually quite cool.

Fully in agreement there. Even though The Simpsons is overall terrible nowadays, that episode is actually brilliant - and nails the hipster phenomenon.

It's like they gathered the most annoying cnuts they could find in the country to do the coverage, then told them to go and find more cnuts like them from the crowd to talk to...

(I'm not at all bitter about not being there...!)

watching it on tv now and enjoying something different,dont look or go to them so cannot comment but stradbally is different and unique as they wanted a different approach to a festival and if it pulls more money in from abroad well done.
