"The contempt towards these individuals, as in Sens Unik's 'La horde des faux,' (
The horde of the fakes) is as powerful as that expressed towards the police or the
politicians (Sens Unik 1993). As far as has been possible to ascertain, no new

"From its origins as what its organiser Michael Eavis called a "mini-rock festival", fittingly headlined by the diminutive Marc Bolan in 1970, Glastonbury Festival has become a musical and cultural fixture in the English summer.
