• Glastonbury Organizer Emily Eavis Recieved Death Threats After Kanye West Booking

    Glastonbury took a lot of flack from a group of rock loving, hip-hop hating fans when the world famous festival decided to book Kanye West as one of the headliners on the Pyramid stage. Within the first 48 hours, over 50,000 people signed a petition to have the "All Day" rapper replaced by a rock headliner. To date, over 134,000 people have signed that petition. However, the anger at the booking was not just reserved to a change.com petition, it apparently went much further then that. According to Glastonbury organizer, Emily Eavis, who has been the most vocal defender of the booking and supporter of Kanye West from the festival, she has received death threats because of it.

  • Joe Jackson, Murry Wilson, Marvin Gaye Sr. and Other Awful Music Parents

    Today marks the 50th anniversary of The Beach Boys' "Help Me Rhonda" reaching no. 1 on the Billboard charts. Although the song is of course a favorite of Boys fans, it's noted by more engaged followers of the group for its famous recording session. During the recording of the vocals, the father of Brian Wilson and the rest of the Wilson brothers, Murry Wilson, burst into the studio to lambast the group for what he perceived to be a lack of enthusiasm. The reel kept rolling as frontman Brian tried to calm his father down, and now copies of that version are coveted by those in-the-know. Murry was one of the most notorious parents in music history, working on his sons' behalf as a manager and coproducer, but ultimately making their lives worse because of it. He manipulated his children and reportedly hit Brian upside the head with a 2x4, causing the legendary musician to lose his hearing on that side of his head. Needless to say, many have blamed Brian's self-destructive habits and unhealthy obsession with music on Murry's callous handling. Here are five other notorious parents in the music industry.
