Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck

Kanye West on-camera last nite: 'Beck needs to respect artistry.' Then a long rant about...ah just watch it.

What would Kanye say about Beethoven? Or Dylan? or Matisse?

Having fun with this as Twitter is aflame already with it. But the more I think about it, the more it gnaws on me. He was referring to Beck winning Album of the Year (instead of Beyonce). I could go on a long rant myself about his ego, general creepiness, but nothing I could add. But his comments are heard by millions of music fans...

Anyhoo, anyone else see those comments? Reactions?

It's spring in the Pacific Northwest. More light, sweeter air. Ornamental plum trees bursting forth with their delicate pink blossoms. The soil is wet and malleable, which makes weeding almost fun.

When I tire of yard work, I shower, knock down a craft beer or two, and listen to my all-tube system through my lovely, recently-acquired Sonus Faber Liuto Monitors, an exceptional pair of over-achievers.

I never listen to Mr. West. Why bother?

Scott. Take a deep breath. Ahhhhh. Feels pretty good, yes? Take another one. Feels even better I'd wager.

If I may take the liberty, please allow me to quote this:

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
