M.I.A Crying that Tenacious D Performered After Her

Tenacious D

Singer M.I.A. tweeted complaints that she was upset that she was opening for Tenacious D and not that Beastie Boys. Get the fuck over yourself! Technically, she wasn’t opening for anyone and no one closed. It was the weekend long 2009 Outside Lands Festival at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, CA. The festival had been going on all weekend.

It was suppose to end with Beastie Boys, but because of Adam Yauch’s cancer treatments they had to pull out. Tenacious D was placed in the void. It sounds like M.I.A. (real name: Mathangi Arulpragasam - aka: too fucking long to pronounce) really thinks she was opening for the D, when she wasn’t. Tenacious D was the last band of the weekend, and M.I.A. was the second from last band to play for the weekend.

But Tenacious D were not taking the slight lightly. During their conversation with MTV News just prior to their festival-closing set, Black had some choice words for the singer. “She didn’t want to open for the D,” said Black. “But you know what? Sticks and stones may break my bones, but tweets will never hurt me.”
