If there’s one thing we learned from this past weekend’s Made in America Festival, it’s that the American flag bikini industry is alive and well.

The two-day end of summer bash was highlighted by a rain-soaked performance from Spoon, the return of Kings of Leon after Nathan Followill and his broken ribs caused the band to cancel weeks of performances, and Kanye being Kanye as he performed ‘Blood on the Leaves’ four times and went on a bit of a mid-set rant.
