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 whilst Taylor Swift was making her acceptance speech.
Taylor is no idol of mine, and I think the MTV video awards are a waste of time, but really – it was her big moment. As a society, has all respect and decorum been forgotten about? Apparently so, after looking at the lyrics that Kanye uses in his 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.
Which brings me to another point – why does pop music have to be so freakin’ lifeless? 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 probably says something about our culture that we don’t even care to think beyond the shallowest levels in anything that we do. All most people want is pithy, nonsensical platitudes in our music and copies of copies for the rest of their lives.
Yet that’s another tangent altogether, so let’s get back to Kanye the moronic egomaniac. Should we be surprised? Probably not 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…
