Soundgarden wishes Kanye West would keep his "retarded" music down
Kanye West’s recently assembled think tank is still at least several months away from redesigning the weather, which unfortunately left his recent appearance at Australia’s Big Day Out festival vulnerable to conventional, factory-grade rain. More than just being aesthetically boring, the downpour delayed Kanye’s headlining set by more than 45 minutes, upsetting attendees who—anxious to see the lasers and ballerinas—broke into chants of “bullshit.” Of course, the Courier Mail offers a conflicting explanation, saying that the real reason Kanye didn't take the stage as scheduled was because he didn't want to "share the limelight" with a skateboarding demonstration from Tony Hawk. But whether or not that's true, he certainly showed no such concerns about competing with Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell, whose neighboring set was interrupted by Kanye’s soundcheck.
