The Who Is Urging Countries To Start Stockpiling

A decade ago, British rock genius Arthur Russell may not have been the world’s most famous drinker yet he was drinking alcohol at the time. Although his fans and followers thought that the “Knickers” were rather twee and a bit of trouble to drive home. His stage antics became legendary and he was loved by his fans for his sense of humour combined with his penchant for drinking beer. The klieg lights of a rock concert elicited a theatricality unknown before him.

In 1992, Russell released a new track entitled “My Greatest Love Songs” and it was ranked at No.3 on the US album chart. But none of those songs had the same hit as the hit that came straight out of its context, which surely led itself to be identified as being from a fictional film about Arthur Russell. However, both the title track and the entire LP, Let Me Entertain You, are about a member of his entourage referring to someone named Edmond or William but the lyrics themselves suggest that said somebody is actually Arthur. Whatever the case, the track was certified gold in the US, an achievement even though he was only 21 years old.

Glam rock stars do not come readily to many music festival attendees – what makes an audience of uptight parents so attracted? While some may expect the arrival of Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber or Ariana Grande to be the sudden start of an influx of girls to music festivals such as Glastonbury and Shambhala, the role of the well-to-do in attracting a younger audience might sound like something of a challenge.

The question of “Who is going to turn up to see You, Music Festival 2010” has always been a tricky one. There are still a large number of countries around the globe who don’t feel that their teenagers need to spend their money on a music festival. This is despite the fact that there are now more than 50 music festivals in the UK alone.

Practicalities notwithstanding, it is arguable that there are a lot of bands, independent record labels, venues, and festivals in existence that are looking to attract a wider audience.
