This is hilarious. I see it in two different news stories. he was apparently pissed that PJ went over time. I'm sure it's all horse shit. That dude is the biggest baby. He was supposed to play at 8:30 to begin with but probably just wanted to feel like the headliner so he pushed his set back.

This is a blog but more pointed:

    Fuck him. He'll never in his life do a show as good as what Pearl Jam did before him.

    This joke was brought to you by the excellent Slight of Jeff.
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    This is my favorite part! I can just see RR on his pedal steel starting this shit:


    Later Sunday, the Bonnaroo crowd was still upset. Pedal steel guitarist Robert Randolph led a "Kanye sucks" chant.

    Good to see Kanye annoys black people too . :P

    It sure sounds like it was his own fault. First, asking to go on later, then having such an elaborate stage that it takes an hour and 1/2 to put up. Maybe he'll make better choices in the future. ;)

    Any guy with balls enough to do what he did on that telethon/fund raiser is ok in my book. It probably wasn't in his best interest to act like a Mariah Carrey crybaby diva at a festival like that though where its pretty obvious the only reason he is there is to collect a pay day..
    Once in a while you can get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    the world does not revolve around you Kanye!!!


    go represent somewhere else, if you don't want to play a festival with some of the best musicians this generation has ever seen.

    that's what happens when "performers" rely on elaborate stages rather than talent :p

    If anything Pearl Jam should be blaming Kanye for switching his time slot. I mean they could've played for another hour if it wasn't for him.

    I kind of agree..

    I'm not sure it takes any balls for Kanye to be a jackass in public. He's built a career of being a whiney bitch.

    I wouldn't go that far. His glow in the dark show is one of the more amazing spectacles I have seen at a concert.

    Where the hell does it mention Kanye saying anything about PJ? NOWHERE. Quit assuming until something legit actually comes out, this title is misleading...

    In my book, those two "talents" are mutually exclusive.

    but that's just me.

    Kayne is a clown and he never should have been invited to play. Didn't he also ask to have his set pushed back to 2:30am?? Screw him!!!!

    on the 2nd link, it says:

    "Rumor had it that Pearl Jam’s slightly late set ticked Kanye off, and that now he was refusing to come on at all"
    “Life is life everywhere. Life is in ourselves and not outside us. There will be men beside me, and the important thing is to be a man among men and to remain a man always, whatever the misfortunes, not to despair and not to fall - that is the aim of life, that is its purpose.”
