...debate has raged among the musical tribes, but the hip-hop vs. rock showdown is a diversion. "It's not fair to blame Jay-Z," Eavis told TIME, instead choosing to blame the weather in typically British fashion, "We've had three years of mud in succession, that was too much to bear, I almost gave up last time." With relentless rain the festival has become a particularly brutal test of endurance, but more fundamentally, Glastonbury has become a victim of its own success...
