First of all, Cee Lo Green has been banned from Riverbend.

After the headliner went rogue at the music festival Saturday night, organizers were flooded with complaints about the artist's profanity and his 45-minute late appearance.

One festivalgoer tweeted, "Ceelo is taking alcohol shots on stage, cursing and now hardcore rapping. The family and Christian riverbend attendees are freaking out."
But not everyone found it funny. Joe Fuller, the festival's talent coordinator, said he answered an enormous amount of disgruntled e-mails on Sunday morning.
And executive director Chip Baker says Cee Lo won't be coming back.
While organizers say CeeLo was late because of delays with his private jet at the airport, they say there's no excuse for his profanity.
We're told Cee Lo's contract explicitly stated that inappropriate language would not be tolerated at the event.
And don't expect any repeats of Saturday's performance. Fuller said he'll turn off the music if it happens again.
