Love Lockdown
I watched the VMAs last night, even though every year, I say I’m not going to, and I mainly agree with Rich from fourfour about everything, except maybe Christina.
But I am starting to think Kanye’s performance was kind of good. I was initially underwhelmed, but I haven’t been able to get it out of my head all day.
Oh, mainstream music.

Kind of good?! It was downright brilliant. I was watching the VMAs wondering why I was watching the VMAs (the numb parade of RhiannaJohnasBrothersParamoreKidRockChristinaPink making no impression on me to speak of), when like a burst of fresh air, like a drink of water in the desert, like the white-hot brilliance of a thousand suns after eternal midnight, KANYE takes the stage. For joy, the pop spectacle yet thrives!
If for only a few minutes, this pagan display justifies the mainstream.

Yeah it pretty much won me over the minute he brought out the huge drum chorus.
