Jay-Z - Wonderwall/99 Problems @ Glastonbury

Prior to Jay-Z's headlining set at Glastonbury, Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher had some not-so-kind words to say about the Brooklyn MC, and hip-hop as a whole. Jay-Z basically said piss off, and went ahead with the "controversial" set as planned. He opened his set with a cover of Oasis' "Wonderwall" which had him strumming a guitar and taking lead vocals. Maybe it was one last punch from the HOVA, or maybe he was just recognizing them as British rock royalty. I'm gonna go with my first guess.
So Noel, I know you all had some hits 10 or more years ago, but instead of knocking Jigga for headlining this storied festival, try creating some new, relevant "guitar music" with Oasis so that Michael Eavis might invite you back.
Also, how can you not love "99 Problems" mashed with "Back In Black"!?

At one point in time the asian fans became so popular that there was actually a scare of scarcity of silk. The then emperor laid out a law that prohibited the making of the fans using silk. Paper served as the ideal alternative and from this time onwards the Chinese fan was predominantly made out of paper.
An interesting fact of history reveals that the Chinese paper fan which we know of today in its foldable form was not actually invented by the Chinese. Rather the Chinese adopted the folding construction technique from Japan during the 11th century.
The Chinese paper fan was revolutionized with the incorporation of traditional Chinese painting on the surface of the open oriental fan. The fan canvas was used a means of making an artistic expression and we find many historical events and developments to be painted on Chinese paper fans.
Chinese paper fans were made using many different materials. The paper fan was however the most commonly used version due to the cheap cost of producing it. Furthermore there were many different styles of constructing the Chinese paper fan.
The fan canvas featured many different themes and styles of paintings. Amongst the most valued fold fan was those that featured Chinese calligraphy in an interesting manner. The fans thus had a great aesthetic appeal while retaining their practical function as well. Today they serve as artifacts and souvenirs of the Chinese culture.
