We watched some of the Glasto acts on iPlayer last night - Stormzy and Janet Jackson.
Can't honestly say I'm a great fan of Stormzy's music, but I can appreciate it and the artistry involved. There are no choruses in his songs whatsoever and they're like a rhyming stream of consciousness, which makes remembering the words (not that I can understand much of what he sings) a prodigious feat of memory considering he was on for an hour.
Stormsy's Boris rant was cut from the iPlayer set following howls of protest, presumably from Daily Mail, Spectator and Daily Telegraph readers. David Davies said' "Words do have impact," when criticising the set. Yes, they do, especially when they're lies and uttered by a politician and Boris would do well to remember Newton's 3rd Law of politics - every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Apparently Boris was waxing lyrical about moral Conservatism - I can't imagine a person less qualified to pontificate on morals.
Many have accused Janet Jackson of miming - hard to tell when her mouth was obscured by a Hitler moustache microphone (which may have been her own political statement). The sound from her mic certainly wasn't optimal - but as an exhibition of pure athleticism by a woman of 53 who has struggles with her weight, it was brilliant.
