    Why I just can't believe Kanye would whine about something! That's unheard of!

    here's the "kanye's blog" link.. (warning: many, many capital letters)

    peace,
    lz
    The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever. Because this is just a ride." And we...kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok? But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.

    Really- He did not belong there. People go to a music festival for the music. If his pyro and lights were not ready- then go without it. What, his music can't stand on its own without glow lights. If his concept of his stage show was too big to accommodate him the first round of negotiations with the Festival organizers, then he should have cut it out and hit the crowd with his lyrics instead.

    Don't blame other people if you suck!

    I refuse to read the blog entry, but does he give any details on his trip to Atlanta earlier that night? Obviously he was there at some radio station hootenanny Saturday evening/night so isn't there an outside shot his trying to be two places at the same time might have had a little sumthin' sumthin' to do with his tardiness.
    I don't know, it really makes no difference to me because his music -- good or not -- will never be of any significance to me, but it pisses me off when whiners like Mr. West blame everyone else and refuse to take any of the blame themselves....always the victim, right?
    Frankly, he had no business being at Bonnaroo and should have taken his 8 p.m. slot and shut his fucking mouth. If I had been organizing Bonnaroo, I would stuck his ass on the stage at 5 Thursday afternoon

    Did you see how many exclamation points he used after saying that PJ was an hour over time? He basically came right out and said "It's all Stone's fault."

    I suggest checking out The Roots. They are amazing live!
    When I went to Woodstock 94, I was not into Salt n Pepper or Cypress Hill or any rap act for that matter. Both of those acts were fun as could be and I enjoyed them a lot. I still crack up when I hear a salt n pepper song on the radio and remember how much fun I had dancing around to them. I am a complete rock and roll kinda girl. So this was definitely a 360 for me. Kanye could had done the same, but he chose to piss and moan. I think he lost some of his own fans not to mention not impressing any new ones.

    My friend who was at Bonnaroo was actually excited to see him due to her teenage daughter always playing him. She stayed for 2 songs and was all done. She said he sucked and what a waste of good sleeping weather!

    It was not a big arena concert where there was only maybe 2 openers and the main event. Obviously, the organizers did not think he was a main event or they would have given him a better time slot. Definitely, Pearl Jam was a main event- given the better time.

    He should have taken the earlier time- if he wanted to please the people (as his blog stated- he's all for the people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

    He was originally on the other main stage to begin with.... there was nothing on that stage all night...they could have taken their time to set it up for a night performance at a reasonable hour...

    from what I've heard Kanye's people and/or Kanye himself wanted the larger stage, which of course PJ was originally scheduled to finish the night on....

    this isn't PJ's fault by any measure...

    FUCK KANYE WEST !!

    Why did he wait so long to come up with an explanation for that fiasco at Bonnaroo. He lost thousands of potential fans that night/morning and there is nothing he can say or do to change that now.

    From what I understand West would not take the stage untill all other acts(Phil Lesh) were off their respective stages. He wanted no chance of competition....why? Beacuse he's a little bitch. I'm almost embarrased to say I waited the two hours for him to hit the stage and I stayed for the whole set!!! I really thought Daft Punk was coming out and I convinced my whole crew to hunker down and wait with me because 'Daft Punk really is coming on next'......The sun came up, Kanye left and Daft Punk never came on...I did start taking exit polls as everyone left the field...so much fun. So, glad I was not the only one dissapointed.

    ..What a whiney bitch. This guy can't seem to grasp that he isn't as popular as he thinks he is.

    He's more popular than lotsa people

    his MySpace page has 41 million (yes thats million) hits

    compare that to how many hits Pearl Jam's MySpace page has

    (I'll let you do the math, ok?)

    don't hurt yourself

    start a PJ myspace page in 1991 and see how many hits it would have. Let's see if douchebag west even has a career in 10 years.
