Morning Link: Kanye West booed at music fest

Fans at the Bonnaroo music festival booed rapper Kanye West over the weekend after he was late on stage. West was originally slated to start things off at 8:15 PM, but because he wanted to use his glow-in-the-dark glasses and stage deco, he asked to be pushed back 2:45 AM, after Pearl Jam.

As Pearl Jam finished late, with roadies also backing up the show with their disassembling of the set, West didn't hit the stage until 4:30 AM. Fans got antsy around 4:15 AM and began to throw stuff on stage. When West finally appeared, those that hasn't retired to their tents, booed.
