Question: Kanye fires back regarding the 'Bonnaroo booing situation'!?
This is straight from Kanye's blog, sorry about him typing in CAPS, I just copied and pasted it:
"NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL! NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL! THIS SHOWS NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY TO BE GOOD AT SOMETHING THERE WILL BE PEOPLE THERE TO LIE ABOUT YOU AND BRING YOU DOWN! LIKE WAYNE SAYS PLEASE DON'T SHOOT ME DOWN CAUSE I'M FLYING! I'M HURT BY THIS ONE!. ALL I CARE ABOUT ARE THE FANS!. 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 !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? HAS ANYONE EVEN TAKEN THE TIME TO AT LEAST DO THE MATH!?!?!? BONNAROO SHOULD HAVE RELEASED A STATEMENT IN MY DEFENSE BUT SINCE THEY HAVEN'T LET'S BREAK DOWN THE WALLS ON THIS TRUMAN SHOW AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY OCCURRED!!! FOR OVER A MONTH WE WENT BACK AND FORTH ON WETHER OR NOT WE COULD EVEN FIT MY STAGE AT THE FESTIVAL!. ONE DAY THEY WOULD SAY YES!.!.!. WE'D SEND THEM OUR SPECS THEN THEY THEY'D SAY OK!.!.!. THEN THEY WOULD SEND SPECS BACK THAT DIDN'T FIT THE STAGE!. WE WERE OBVIOUSLY DEALING WITH IDIOTS WHO DIDN'T REALLY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO REALLY PUT ON THIS SHOW PROPERLY!. THEY TRIED 2 GIVE ME A TIME SLOT WERE IT WAS STILL LIGHT OUTSIDE !.!.!. I HAVE A LIGHT SHOW, IT'S NOT CALLED GLOW IN THE DARK FOR NO REASON SQUID BRAINS! MY PEOPLE WORKED OUT A COMPROMISED STAGE PLOT AND A 3AM TIME SLOT AND I AGREED!. FAST FOWARD TO THE DAY OF THE SHOW!. MY PRODUCTION MANAGER TRIED TO LOAD IN FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE I WENT ON STAGE BUT THE FESTIVAL WOULDN'T ALLOW US TO DO ANYTHING UNTILL PEARL JAM LEFT THE STAGE!. PEARL JAM ENDED ONE HOUR LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.!.!. AT THAT POINT WE'RE RACING AGAINST THE SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.!.!. AT 4:20AM DON COMES BACK 2 THE BUS AND TELLS ME, "IT WOULD TAKE 45 MORE MINUTES TO PUT ALL YOUR PYRO IN!" I SAY I HAVE TO GET OUT THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!."
But wait, there's more! This is regarding all the liquid on the Bonnaroo stage, the residue of angry concertgoers' beer-tossing protests:
"I STEPPED ON THE FRONT PART OF MY STAGE AND THERE WAS SO MUCH LIQUID ON THE STAGE I COULDN'T MOVE WITHOUT SLIPPING!. I HAD TO ADJUST MY WHOLE PERFORMANCE STYLE BECAUSE OF IT!. A FEW MORE SONGS IN AND THE SONG WAS ON IT'S WAY UP!.!. I CUT A FEW SONGS FROM THE SET BECAUSE I WANTED PEOPLE 2 EXPERIENCE STRONGER WHILE THERE WAS STILL SOME DARKNESS TO PERFORM IT IN!. I'VE STRUGGLED WITH STRONGER FROM IT'S CONCEPTION!. REMEMBER LAST SUMMER WHEN I CANCELED SOME TV APPEARANCES!. IT WAS BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO PERFORM STRONGER IN THE DAYTIME!. ANYONE WHO CAME TO THE GLOW TOUR CAN UNDERSTAND WHY I WANTED PEOPLE TO SEE IT PROPERLY!. IT BROKE MY HEART THAT I COULDN'T GIVE THESE FANS STRONGER IN IT'S GREATEST FORM!.!.!. BY THE TIME I GOT TO STRONGER IT WAS DAYTIME AND IT BROKE MY HEART!. I'M SORRY TO EVERYONE THAT I DIDN'T HAVE THE ABILITY 2 GIVE THE PERFORMANCE I WANTED TO!. I'M SORRY!.!.!.

I've seen the "Glow In The Dark" tour TWICE!. I'd go again!. He puts on a show that is deserving of each and every dollar I shell out for the VERY BEST TICKETS!. I understand everything he said!. It was NOT his fault that Pearl Jam played too long and that the Festival didn't at least POST a message that there was a DELAY because the group before him played too long!. The press is always out to eat up Kayne and I'm glad he stood up for himself!. There are always going to be haters but the guy deserves props for his music and his shows!. So what if he's got a big head!.!.!.!.!.I know a WHOLE LOT of poor, broke guys who have no jobs who act the same way!.!.!.!.!.!.think about it!? He did the best he could in bad circumstances!.!.!.the promoters knew his show is "GLOW IN THE DARK!?!?!?!? How simple can that be!? Don't hate, celebrate!!!Www@Enter-QA@Com
