Music Banter - View Single Post - Thoughts On Backlash Against Kanye West Headlining at Glastonbury?

Just wondering what other people's thoughts are on this one. Tens of thousands of people have signed a petition against him headlining. I've heard commentary that "any rock band" headlining would be better than Kanye West. But then I also read a column in the Metro yesterday (I can't link to it as I haven't posted on this forum enough to qualify yet) suggesting that there might be some racism or lack of openness to other music genres coming into play. The commentator remarked that Glastonbury is a very "white" festival.

What are your thoughts? Should the headline act at Glastonbury be a rock artist as a rule?
