Hammond Music

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve seen or heard about the video footage of Kanye West jumping on the stage during this years 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 come on – let the girl have her moment in the spotlight. As a society, has all respect and decorum been forgotten about? Apparently so, just take a look through the lyrics that Kanye uses in his songs. Now having done that, and felt dirty for hours afterwards by doing so, I’m not sure why I would expect anything less from him.

Which brings me 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 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.

But I digress, so let’s get back to Kanye the moronic egomaniac. Should we expect better? Probably not As long as we reward idiocy with airplay, youtube clips and massive publicity, we’ll continue to get more of the same. 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. There have mostly done nothing that warrants us valuing 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.

Maybe I should start writing pop music…
