The amount of vitriol over Kanye’s set surprised me, honestly.

I’m not the least bit familiar with his music, and the thing that kinda pissed me off about it was the mix on TV was so bad I couldn’t get a handle on what the hell he was doing.

The mix seemed off to me all night. with the exception of Clapton (and some of Townshend’s stuff during the ‘Oo set), I didn’t hear a single guitar solo all night.

Kanye dropped the n-word if I’m not mistaken. That led to slight up-tick from the PC police in the form of “why now?” As if he’s some kind of spokesman to liberalism. Um, no. The skirt thing blew up people’s minds since it still remains as a gender fuck. That led to all sorts of transphobic thoughts and by default, gayness day dreaming. Especially in the macho driven culture of that musical genre.
