Kanye West Is An Idiot
Even those not interested in entertainment news will have seen or heard about the video footage of Kanye West jumping on the stage during the 2009 MTV video awards in the middle of Taylor Swift's acceptance speech.
Now I'm no fan of Taylor (or the MTV video awards for that matter), but come on - it was her big moment. Have we lost all respect and decorum as a society? Seems that way, just take a look through the lyrics of a few Kanye West songs. Now having done that, and ruined my appetite for the day, I really don't think it's that out of character for him.
This leads me on to another point - since when did pop music become such a lifeless joke? Most of the stuff in the charts is just crap icing on top of crap cake. These days I just can't be bothered with pop music. It's an unfortunate reflection on us when we are mostly aware of how shallow it all is, but we just accept it anyway. All most people want is pithy, nonsensical platitudes in our music and copies of copies until the end of their days.
But I digress, so let's get back to Kanye the moronic egomaniac. Should we be surprised? No. In a world where idiocy is rewarded with airplay and publicity, more of the same can be expected. Everybody wants their five minutes of fame even should it be someone elses five minutes of fame that you're taking. I have no idea why we should take any notice of what these people say or do. Do they have any qualifications that would make me want to value their opinion?
Of course, the same is true here - who cares what I say or do? Who I am to be giving my opinion?? I love to rant and rave about anything that crosses the circuits in my little brain - whether I'm qualified to comment on it or not.
I guess I should try writing pop music...
