Should M.I.A. be bitching about opening for Tenacious D at Outside Lands?

“Paper Planes” weight-mover M.I.A. is on twitter this week and curious as to how she, vocalist of song of the year “Paper Planes” is opening for Tenacious D of such notable tracks as “Fuck Her Gently”. Burn!

CANT BELIEVE THEY REPLACED BEASTIES WITH TENACIOUS D ??????????AND IF I PULL OUT THEY SUE! SO REALLY? TENACIOUS D AFTER ME ?5:56 PM Aug 22nd from web

It’s a valid question many have asked after headliners Beastie Boys had to bow out due to sudden health issues. M.I.A. wanted this gig, the biggest one since becoming a mother, because she’d be opening for some rap idols, not comic metal pretenders. M.I.A. immediately sort of backpedaled from her discontent, stating:

SO ME AND JACK BLACK ARE BACK TO BACK, BEASTIES GET WELL SOON!5:57 PM Aug 22nd from web

Then:

YOUR ALL WELCOME ON STAGE FROM THE GET GO, FUCK IT! IM TAKIN BIRD FLU OUT OF THE SET ! JUS TO MAKE A POINT!5:58 PM Aug 22nd from web

This show is going to be bananas. [M.I.A.]
