A Radiohead show in Kansas City, USA was picketed on March 11 by the Westboro Baptist Church.
The fundamentalist Christian group gathered outside the Sprint Centre in Missouri to protest the show from the Oxford rockers, with the band's long-time cohort Nigel Godrich posting a picture from the demonstration on his Twitter page and claiming it was the "highlight of the tour".

'Look at the circus monkey over there and the fluffy setting, blah blah…'. "
