Kanye West update

So, Kanye West as apparently pissed off everyone within the Bonnaroo community. Management, publicity, press, other artists, and most of all the fans that came to see him. Not only did he go on late, they told Bonnaroo management that they Kanye “was” Bonnaroo and denied them access to the stage. no press coverage, and the worst? He refused to play until all other artists where done playing. This forced long time Bonnaroo fan favorite Phil Lesh to stop playing a set a hour short of his scheduled time, and we normally would have played much after this time. Phil stopped playing at 3:30 and Kayne still didn’t play for almost another hour. Most fans left by the time Kanye’s “Good Morning” show started.

The reaction? Fans painting and wearing Fuck U Kayne and chanting Kanye Sucks! during performances on Sunday. As I’m sitting back my camp right now in full listen of Death Cap for Cutie and write this, the lead singer stopped between songs and said that for him to start playing he just needs “his shit together”, and he had his guitar and his mike and his shit was together. Once his shit is together he starts playing, just like any other professional musician.

I also thought it was really nice when I shot a different appearance of Phil Lesh that the fans kept yelling how much they loved him and of course… “Kanye Sucks!”
