So there was I at the weekend tuning into BBC3 to see what musical treat they had in store - often at the weekend it's opera or something similar - and what do I find but wall to wall bloody T in the Park!

I suffered a few minutes of this unstructured and formless cacaphony then gave up listening and instead paid attention to the crowd.

Was there ever more effective evidence of the self-centred nature of youngish people today than the sight of thousands of smug self-indulgent people being conned by both musicians and traders into supporting the complete commercialisation of culture today.

According to one report there were 75000 over the weekend. Where do they go when political protest is demanded? Where's their sense of morality. At least in the sixties we had a sense of idealism and tried to convert that into direct action.

How many of the consumerists at Balado have ever taken part in any political action? How many even bother their arse to register to vote?

A great success? No. T in the Park is simply the epitome of the consumerist society at work - and the numpties that attend think they're taking part in something meaningful!

Hmmph!

Bah humbug!!!

Maybe the world's a better place than it was in your day Eugene.

Folk are the same whatever generation they come from.

Eugene, I pretty much agree with you, you commie b@stard

In that case Igor I may need to rethink my position.

What a lot of complete and utter wank! Can people no longer enjoy themselves? Are you so much better than that 75000? Or are you just much older and boring? I think the latter will apply!

I didn't know we were meant to go there to try and do something meaningful. Ten years of going and nobody tells me that. Damn. I thought I was just to go to have fun. Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Still I've got my tickets booked for next year already, so will try to be more meaningful then

The BBC3 coverage was dismal, made me not want to be there, even though part of me did.

Got Sunday's coverage on tape but not watched any of it yet. Would have had Saturday's too if my temperamental dvd recorder hadn't packed up.

Wasn't as good a line up this year, but still a few good bands.

Still too many arseholes there though.

The amount of people that can't be bothered waiting and just want to piss anywhere beggars belief. People of all ages and sexes.

Still all the neds too.

And why someone wants to be so wasted at 1.30 on the Saturday afternoon that she can hardly talk or stand is beyond me. She must have spent a fortune to see fuck all. Makes me glad Mrs GoF doesn't drink

odds on you watch big brother eugene.Boring BUGGER.

T in the park was the best weekend of my life!
