Have You Ever Waved A Flag At A Festival

Maybe I like the misery
but they're entertaining - gives you something to look and laugh at whilst you're listening to the band.

No hair shows you care.
you should just make up a load of flags with things like "CUNT LIPS", "FUCK KIDS" and "WORSHIP HITLER" written on them and get folk to wave them about at the front of the crowd. Then the film crews won't broadcast any footage of the audience and , quid pro quo, folk will soon give up waving flags about - 'as markers' - to enable them to spot themselvs on TV later.

An excellent and adroit suggestion, sir, with just two, minor, drawbacks...

i dunno...folk are always complaining about the homogeneity of the Glasto crowd so at least it would make the place look a bit more 'edgy', no?

So many particulars. So many questions.
Yeah, but then you are the cunt with a massive peadophilia related flag. You've won but lost at the same time. Pyrrhic victory

Well, conversely, it might offer artists an opportunity to truly 'prove their mettle' ?
We're always reading about what 'composite professionals' performers such as Tom Jones, Bruce 'The Boss' Springsteen et al are. So surely it would be a test of their showmanship and ability to transcend any adversity were they to alight on the Glastonbury stage, look out over the audience...and be greeted by a sea of swastika flags and banners saying "FUCK YOU" ?

The flag 'Fuck kids' could be somewhat ambiguous though. On the one hand, it could be inciting people to out and have sexual intercouse with minors. On the other, it could simply be expressing a deeply held contempt for infants. On a third hand it could be expressing a dislike of the controversial 90s film by that same name.

Also, it would take on another meaning entirely if waved at an MGMT gig

Unless you are a member of PIE or NAMBLA, obviously.
In which case it would surely be an unequivocal 'win / win' scenario where-by you had enjoyed a day out in the sun, soaking up the utopian ambiance and watching some of your favourity pop groups, whilst at the same time propogating the cause of inter-age sexual union.

Aha, but perhaps an ambiguity which could be transcended by simply prefixing it with the letter 'I' , a heart shape and the numeral '2' . Appropriting an already iconic juxtaposition, whilst, due to the 'hip' employment of 'text-speak', making the massage all the more appealing to youngsters.

You mean at a music festival? Whatever in the world for?
The closest I ever came was at a David Bowie concert, where he kicked a giant balloon of the world into the crowd, and it bounced around, and people hit it up to other parts of the crowd. I think I punched the balloon of the world. That's the closest I ever came to waving any sort of territorial thing at a concert.
I can't imagine waving a flag under any circumstances. Maybe if US tanks were rolling up Georgia Street, I'd go out and wave the Maple Leaf. Damned US Imperialists!

My mate took a banner to Glastonbury one year that said "You're Shit!" on it. He saved it for waving at certain acts e.g. Simple Minds.

Springsteen picked up some banners and placards and took them on stage with him. One of them said (something or other)..because you're shit
I think they look really pretty on telly and they've never really got in my face that much...I suppose because like OU says, you can't see that much of the act on the big stages anyway.
They do seem to have got a touch out of hand recently though. Who could be fucking ARSED to carry one about with them?

It ain't just 'cos your short. If you want to actually SEE someone on the main stage you need to barge your way right down the front (usually by spending hours there before their set, and really, who can be arsed, who are those people?) after that the flags'll block your view anyway and you'll be watching the screens. if you're in front of the sound desk which looks like the front of the field you're still miles from the stage with a view no better than being at the top of the hill. but really, that ain't the point. and the people with flags are still twats.

Who would go all the way to Glastonbury to watch a band they didnt like and take the time to make a flag saying 'you're shit', just to wave at them?

He had quite a nice frame around that alsation. Didn't mind which way he was facing either.
I'd have put it round his neck.
