I know fans of U2 use to wave a lot of flags. I saw the Amnesty International's Conspiracy of Hope tour in 1986 at the Cow Palace near San Francisco. When U2 came on at the end, it seemed like a hundred flags came out on the floor. I had seats behind the stage and the flags amazed me at the time. It did not hurt my view, so it was cool at the time.

The flags, poles are a disaster waiting to happen. Once we see a skewered fan from a flag pole we'll see the end of them

Those flags on very long poles (or whatever they're called) presumably don't block people's view, unless they're 15 feet tall, though.

We should bring them to Stones shows so we can sacrifice the heretics who use Keith's two songs as a piss-break.
'Gaz The Impaler' has a nice ring to it, you have to admit.
Any relation to the other festival attendee, Gaz The Inhaler?

Think I'd be pissed off if I was stuck behind someone whose flag was obstructing my view.
Going to an NFL game this Sunday and won't be able to bring anything in that can't fit in a small, clear plastic bag. Then again, NFL stands for No Fun League.

Speaking of Glastonbury ... is there always a phoenix atop the Pyramid stage,
and does it always get animated when the headliners play? Or was that a Stones Exclusive?

The thread title is my question. I don't get it. Is it nationalism? (I love music because it breaks down any thought of borders). Is it desire to be noticed ('that was me holding up the huge flag that blocked the view of 40,000 people behind me').
Is it just tradition?
Just wondering, as I watch Glastonbury on Palladia.
