Elton John, 76, headlining at Glastonbury tonight

I was 17 when I saw an amazing series of acts in a sold-out Wembley Stadium – 21 June, 1975, 48 years ago. The acts, in chronological order:
  • Stackridge
  • Rufus feat. Chaka Khan
  • Joe Walsh
  • The Eagles (Joe Walsh joined the band not long after)
  • The Beach Boys
  • Elton John
Just four days ago an interesting article on the event was published, California Stealin’: Beach Boys Conquer Elton John’s Wembley Extravaganza. On a glorious summer’s day, the Beach Boys went down a storm. Elton John was the headlining act and we wondered how he might follow them. In the event he triumphed, despite performing the whole of his new album Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. If memory serves me right after 48 years, he finished with a barnstorming Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting. Elton is the headline act at Glastonbury and appears later this evening, BBC iPlayer link here. You’ll need a BBC licence to watch it, sorry!

Comedy gold: European Athletics Team Championships – Shot putter Jolien Boumkwo runs 100m hurdles

Our thanks to the BBC for this gem. Keep your eye on Boumkwo in the far lane, she’s visible until the 20-second mark. She ran the distance in 32:81 (her season’s best), the other seven women managed the distance in under 14 seconds. I was reminded of the US women’s soccer team who recently visited the UK and played against some (non-professional) men’s teams and lost 14-0 in 40 minutes to one team, before the referee brought the farce to an early close. Some land whales in the crowd chanted, “Equal pay for equal work”. You couldn’t make it up. Speaking to the media afterwards, the US team’s captain – you know, the blue-haired lesbian – wittered on about how the experience proved how brave her players were. No, toots, it proved how hopeless women are at soccer compared with men, and once again proved they’ll reliably get slaughtered whenever they take on men, whether individually or in teams.

Inside Britain’s sex scandal jail: Former prison officer and inmate lift the lid on £250M HMP Berwyn where 18 female guards have been fired or left for illicit affairs with convicts in just six years

Appalling. No women should be working as prison officers in men’s prisons. They’ve been a disaster.
