An Open Letter to Kanye West...

Dear Mr K. West,
I am writing to you to ask a few simple questions.
1) Did you stay at Glastonbury long enough to see The Who perform last night.
2) If you did, can you please provide some evidence for why you still consider yourself to be "the no.1 living breathing rock star"
3) Do you still consider yourself "a god" ?

Mr. West, will you now bugger off back to where you come from and never darken these shores again. We don't need to be told who is the best, you see because this country has produced: 
The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Yes, Queen, Pink Floyd, The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Smiths, Radiohead, The Kinks, Black Sabbath, Arctic Monkeys, Muse, Genesis, Joy Division, Manic Street Preachers, Thin Lizzy, The Small Faces, Rod Stewart, Coldplay, The Cure, The Stone Roses, Pet Shop Boys, Fleetwood Mac, Pulp, Blur, Oasis, Marc Bolan and T Rex, The Specials, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Roxy Music, King Krimson, Dire Straits, The Animals, Happy Monday's, Cream, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Slash (born in Stoke), John McLaughlin, Gary Moore, Richard Thompson, The Police, Sting, Mike Oldfield, Hank Marvin and the Shadows, Ritchie Blackmore, Deep Purple, Rainbow, David Bowie, U2, Robin Trower, Procal Harem, The Moody Blues, John Mayall, Paul Weller, Brian Eno, John Williams, Julian Bream, and yes even Cliff Richard and many, many, more....

This country has enough talent and plenty of nominees for No.1 living breathing rock star, so you need to take you and your (c)Rap music and show a little class, and due reverence to a country that knows great music when we see it because we pretty much invented it.
