Here’s a couple of quick hit things I decided to vent about on a Monday.
- Kelly and I would like to do more traveling now that we’ve settled in on retirement. But not here.
- The world continues to be shocked…shocked! at the behavior of Kanye West and his current spouse Bianca Censori. Is the world really going to continue being shocked when they show up at some function, him dressed in all-black and her…well, almost naked? There was also a lot of hand-wringing over the photo of a kid peering around the corner to check her out. What’s all the fuss about? His look is like that one all the neighborhood guys had when someone filched a Playboy magazine from their creepy uncle’s collection. Despite all the cultural upheaval in the world over the bast 20 years or so, there is one immutable fact: men, no matter their age, will always look at naked women. Or partially naked women. This is genetic.
- Regarding Beyoncé’s Grammy win: no, she did not deserve to win Country Album of the Year. I say this not because of a lack of talent, but because there are dozens of women country artists dying to be heard today, most of whom you have never heard. Some will think she won because the Grammy voters didn’t want to appear “racist,” as she was up against all white nominees. But I think they’re all scared shitless of Jay Z, because of his influence and power in the industry. Whatever the reason, the Grammys proved once again that they are among the most meaningless, useless and pathetic awards handed out each year.
