Kanye West

After watching his apology on Jay Leno last night and then sleeping on it, I have a new perspective on what Kanye West did.

Sure, he acted like a jackass. The guy had been drinking heavily. This is the kind of stuff one does when you are under the influence. People who drink to excess are all jackasses. Does this mean we should totally absolve him? No, but I think we need to get this into perspective.

All these awards for entertainers are a load of crap. From the Emmys to MTVs music awards. It is just another way for these greedy music corporations to try and make money.

We idolize our entertainers. Not because they have a great education or because of the wonderful things they do to stop war, or reduce poverty and hunger in world society. Just because they are nice to look at, and they are rather entertaining. So we put them up on a pedestal.

A great many of these entertainers are actually doing things which are very harmful to society. Need I mention drug addicted, morbidly obese, racist radio announcers? It is quite common for these entertainers to act like jackasses. Big Deal. Kanye West is a lot more humble than most of them.
