I am to old for Glastonbury (54) but I seem to remember Rolf Harris played there a couple of years ago.
And didn't Athur Lee and Love play there last year. He must be in his late 50s' and has not done anything since the classic Forever Changes in 1967.
Don't equate age with 'no talent' or 'past it'.
BB King can still swing, and people like Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton and David Bowie must be in their late fifties or early sixties.
Also Macca wrote some of the greatest pop songs of all time (albiet many years ago) so deserves to be listened to.

Re: Ageism at Glastonbury
I think if you can play regardless of yer age, you deserve a shot.
A few years ago, Johnny Cash played at Glastonbury and went down a fucking storm. Said it was his best memory of playing live as the 'young' audience were tuned into what he was playing.
Oh, Johnny didn't bullshit, so if he said that, you can believe it

Re: McCartney at Glastonbury
Nothing wrong with a bit of age/experience, and having 'paid yer dues': and if Macca wants to play some of his better, earlier efforts, as opposed to the utter pap he's been writing for the last 25 years, fine.
