The Brits Don’t Want Kanye, Except They Do

Some guy in Britain started a petition to kick Kanye off the headliners list at the Glastonbury Music Festival this summer. The petition gained traction because people in the media loves to hate Kanye while everybody else in the world pretty much loves to give Kanye money. Neil Londsale claimed Kanye simply didn’t represent what the Glastonbury festival is all about and also he doesn’t deserve headlining status.

Kanye West is an insult to music fans all over the world. We spend hundreds of pounds to attend glasto, and by doing so, expect a certain level of entertainment. Kanye has been very outspoken on his views on music….he should listen to his own advice and pass his headline slot on to someone deserving!

This dude later admitted he’s never been to the Glastonbury festival before, which would explain why he’s such a clueless tool who doesn’t understand outdoor music festivals like Glastonbury and Coachella and Bonnaroo. Or that the other Glastonbury headliner is currently Lionel Richie. These expensive outdoor festivals book whoever gets suburban white kids to pay $300 for tickets to see a show. That’s Kanye West. You don’t think overwrought rap music belongs at your precious arts fair? Too fucking bad. It’s what pays the bills. Also, Bono can’t ride a bike and Madonna’s still in vagina traction. Grow up and accept the fact that people like horrible shit. Visit a jazz club or a basement bar where the Beatles started. They’re probably playing Kanye too. This world is horrible. More petitions, stat!
