WAINWRIGHT'S SWIPE AT AMERICA

American singer RUFUS WAINWRIGHT couldn't resist having a swipe at America when he appeared at the Glastonbury festival last night - he wore black stripes to represent all that is bad in the country.

The folk star performed during yesterday's musical event in England wearing a black striped shirt and a red striped jacket.

Wainwright used his unusual clothing to convey what he thinks about America.

He said: "We're (his band) all wearing stripes and brooches tonight. We're from America so it's supposed to represent the stars and stripes. Some of us are wearing pretty stripes and that's good, but the black stripes represent all that is bad in the USA."
