The White Stripes are THE BIGGEST CON in the fucking world

The Darkness were the best headlining act I have seen in 12 years of Reading (yes, I am that old, and yes, don't I look young for my age.)

Regarding the wee throwing at The Rasmus and 50 Cent, I mean they always have to throw wee at someone at Reading it seems, but I find it so distasteful and just downright mean. What about the fans down the front who get unrequested golden showers and then have to go back to their tents covered in urine? When an act like 50 Cent comes over to the UK, and plays a festival like Reading probably knowing nothing of it's traditions, he just sees a predominantly white and aggressive crowd attacking him for no discernible reason. I think it's great when Reading gets truly international musicians (see Eminem for example) to play because it increases the profile and the likelihood of better acts playing in future years. Why do we abuse them like this?
