Kanye West Is An Idiot

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard about or seen the video footage of Kanye West gatecrashing the stage during the 2009 MTV video awards in the middle of Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech.

Taylor is no idol of mine, and I think the MTV video awards are a waste of time, but really – let the girl have her moment in the spotlight. 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.

This leads me on 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 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 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? In a world where we reward idiocy with airplay, youtube clips and massive publicity, more of the same can be expected. Everybody wants their five minutes of fame even if it’s at the expense of someone, anyone (or everyone) else. 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?

I know what you’re thinking – why should you care what I say, sing or think about?  I love to rant and rave about anything that crosses the circuits in my little brain – even if I’m not particularly qualified to comment on the issue.

Maybe I should start writing pop music…
