happiness (1)

Radiohead at Glasto

Well, how can I start this blog without sounding too...well... pissed off? We are at W.A.S.T.E. -CENTRAL. I am a Radiohead 'fan' and I hope all of you Radiohead band members, or at least one of you, will pay attention. Now, I have been following you people around regularly for a number of years. OK, here goes: Edimburgh 2006, Victoria Park 24-25 June 2008 (both nights) , Arras 2008, Leeds 2009 and also...Reading 2009 (yes I drove down from Leeds to Reading on the Sunday to get a double fix and no, I wasn't driving a Fiat but a Toyota Prius Hybrid so no guilt there!).

I am not an infatuated music lover nor a music geek. I am a mother of three, I am a teacher (of Italian, and so being Italian I know all about style and quality). I also know about genius and what I hear with RH is quite a lot of it and I get excited and dreamy and I sway and jump and dance and do things I normally don't do.

Now for the pissed off bit. Now, imagine how a 'fan' of yours (like me), might have felt when after spending an absolutely glorious first day at Glasto on Friday, she picked up the Guardian on Saturday to find, lo and behold, that the objects of her admiration and respect had been and gone, in one of the far away tents, the night before, to do a set which I expect was not seen by the people who really love them, but by whoever happened to be there....I mean is this fair? No, it is not I say!! And in a world far from fair, should we not try and make as many people as possible happy, because happiness generates happiness as we all know.

I know I am not the only one who felt this way...my friend Joe was gutted just to mention one! I mean, not even a hint in your blog?...Not a hint at Glasto on the day? Nothing!?!... (Biffy Clyro did distribute flags but who cares about them).

Well, I think personally it would be most gracious and hugely appreciated if you decided to do a gig for your 'fans' in the very near future. It need not be a big one, even just an acoustic like at Glasto, and, and, we are prepared to travel, say a venue in Oxford so you don't have to move too far.

That would be just MAGIC, just like Glasto really was this year!!!

Love you guys.
