Today I learned quite a number of things related to the Glastonbury Festival. 

<!-- truncate -->


Because we still like to celebrate even though we tend to stay in for holidays, we watched it over the last couple days. I enjoyed the majority of it and learned a couple new things along the way. 

- Lola Young's Aunt[^1] writes children's books that outsell JK Rowling
- Kneecap have a movie[^2] where they play themselves
- Rod Stewart's first band[^3] was with two members of Fleetwood Mac and then his second was with two members of Led Zeppelin.
- The keyboardist form Pulp[^4] has severe arthritis


 There's a bunch of good stuff in there and here are a couple highlights which I clip down under just as a reference to the originals which I've listed below.
