Kanye West At The MTV Video Awards
Unless you've been living under a rock, you've seen or heard about the video footage of Kanye West gatecrashing the stage during the 2009 MTV video awards whilst Taylor Swift was making her acceptance speech.
Now I'm no fan of Taylor (or the MTV video awards for that matter), but really - it was her big moment. Have we lost all respect and decorum as a society? Seems that way, after looking through the lyrics that Kanye uses in his songs. Now having done that, and ruined my appetite for the day, I'm not sure why I would expect anything less from him.
This leads me on to another point - why does pop music have to be so freakin' lifeless? I mean, everything that's out there 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 the majority want is soulless, background music and quick pop psychology fixes until the end of their days.
Yet that's another tangent altogether, so let's return to to moronic egomaniac that is Kanye West. Should we expect better? No. As long as idiocy is rewarded with airplay and publicity, more of the same can be expected. Fame is sought after at all costs even should it be someone elses five minutes of fame that you're taking. Why should we even care what these people say, sing or think about? 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?? Well, any ideas that present themselves in my little brain tend to find themselves emerging as a rant or rave - even if I'm not particularly qualified to comment on the issue.
I guess I should try writing pop music...
