Kanye Booed At Bonnaroo

But it wasn't his fault...
'Ye was supposed to to hit the stage at the weekend long Tennessee rock festival at 2:45am Sunday, but the band before him, Pearl Jam, stayed onstage an hour longer than they were supposed to. The delay was caused by Kanye's elaborate stage set which includes an interplanetary landscape made of a wavy black platform with a slanted floor in the middle and a video screen. So between breaking down the Peal Jam set and putting up Yeezy's Glow in the Dark set, he didn't get onstage till about 4:30am and by then, most concert goers had retreated to their sleeping bags. Those who hung around pelted the stage with glow-sticks, booed and chanted "Kanye Sucks".
