“JUST SAY THIS OUT LOUD IN A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE, ‘KANYE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT GIVING A GOOD PERFORMANCE.’ CAN ANYONE HONESTLY SAY THAT ?????????”
To the best of my knowledge, nobody with any sense is ever going to say that, and for the record I’m pretty sure Kanye West wants to give the best performance every time he takes the stage. Being on top of the world of music, there’s nothing but people trying to come down on you and, and people will take any opportunity to lash out at you when you’re flying high.
Now, I don’t want to take any credit for pushing the issue, but my posting on Monday asking Kanye what the deal was seems to have reached its intended recipient. In his personal blog, Kanye West himself has finally responded (in appropriate Kanye fashion) to the massive outpouring of criticism towards his appearance at Bonnaroo from all areas of the media. In his response, Kanye holds both Bonnaroo festival organizers and Pearl Jam (who stayed nearly an hour past their scheduled time) for the edited and delayed show. Kanye’s furious response and enthusiastic apology to the fans, frequently in all caps, is littered with an intense anger.
This just in from Bonnaroo 2008 — kanYe West has moved his Bonnaroo 2008 set time to the late night Saturday slot! This is very exciting news for everyone attending.
The speculation: Could there now be a surprise appearance during kanYe’s set from Daft Punk as well??? I’m not doing anything to quell these rumors, but either way it’s sure to be an amazing light show.
We are excited to announce that Kanye West will now be performing a late night show on the Main Stage on Saturday, June 14th instead of the previously announced time! This scheduling change is being made to allow Kanye to fully present his critically acclaimed “Glow In The Dark” show.
This show marks the first time that anyone has played a late night set on the Main Stage, and it promises to be one of the festival’s many highlights.
We have also shifted a few other artists, so make sure to check the schedule for updates!
This little tidbit came in from Popbitch this morning and reminded us to remind you about the always hilarious (and very good-sported) Chris Rock’s full-sized comedy experience this year at Bonnaroo. Ever the sport, he stopped by the Rough Trade record shop in London and wowed the shop keeps by leaving a permanent mark worth mentioning.
Chris Rock has been enjoying his time in
London, and popped into Rough Trade records
to do some shopping. Staff were so excited
they asked him to sign the ceiling.He wrote “I love crack”.
Who was that man in gold on the red carpet last night at the Grammy Awards? None other than Maurice Eloise XIII of aristocrunk rap duo Lord T and Eloise. Check out this hilarious interview.
