    ...and we have Dick's!
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    What did Kanye do to diss Beck?

    That was last year
    What did he do?
    same thing he did he did to Taylor Siwft. Thought Beyonce should have won and interrupted.
    He really is a dickhead. Is it for real that he is broke?
    No. He's Kanya West, and he's married to Kim Kardashian for crying out loud. The man simply doesn't distinguish between good attention and bad attention, so he just goes ahead and says and does whatever he thinks will get him the MOST attention.... and actually he's pretty fucking good at it. That's what he's doing with the Zuckerberg thing, and that's what was behind announcing that he would run for President in 2020, lol. And that is why he ran on stage to interrupt the winners two years a row at the Grammys.

    While I normally would never defend anything Kanye West does, when he "interrupted" Beck last year at the Grammys, I thought he was just making light of himself for interrupting Taylor at the MVA's. I don't think he maliciously meant to interrupt Beck. I could be wrong, but that's just how I viewed it. Still, fuck that guy.

    Well, kind of. That how he tree to pull it off when it happened... of course, he later tweeted that Beck wasn't a real artist (and then later kind of took it back), soooo... lol. But either way, the fucker totally took the moment away from Beck, just like he did from Taylor Swift.

    True that. He has to be the center of attention. I wasn't aware he tweeted that about Beck later on. So, the guy basically copied an entire Daft Punk song, put his own lyrics on it, and has the nerve to say Beck isn't a real artist? Wow. Fuck that guy!

    I saw some news story last night about him saying he's the most influential person on the planet right now. It was audio recorded backstage. LOL! what a tool.

    If he is, he's a fucking idiot.

    I mean how could he blow away all that money?
    What about his wife's fortune? Can't she save his ass.
    It's a lot easier than people think, in the music industry (and the sports industry as well) they get what they call deferred splits. Here's how that breaks down. A record label shells out say 250,000 to make a record. That 250,000 covers paying studio musicians, studio time, album pressing, ( or cutting in the case of digital bytes; CDs), artwork, promotional DO dads, limo services, and in that end only maybe10% goes to the artist for time in. They also get shell outs of the contract agreements on a regular basis, that is negotiated in the writing of said contract, based on an estimated value of a complete set of works; also negotiated in the contract. So say, the company
    Estimates that the artist will produce $20,000,000, over a 10 album spread. The contract is written for $1,000,000 allowance per album, with the other 10,000,000 being split up between
    Each and every album produced, and throughout the supporting tours for each album.
    It is not a lump sum sorta thing.
    Case in point.. EV has a net worth of over 119 million dollars. Does he have all that in hand?? No. it's an estimated value based on record sales, and investment holdings, ( I.e, the five houses, the vehicles he owns, the undeveloped properties he owns, etc. )
    Same with Kanye, only Kanye is an
    Idiot.. and may have blown through that in deficit debt, thinking he'd build on album sales, or whatever., MC Hammer did the exact same thing. These contracts pay out over decade long spans.. the artists often
    Overspend what they get in hand.
    As for KK, she's just as bad..

    Anything made OVER the estimated profit is called in hand profit. THAT is the artist's money, once, of course all of that shell-out is paid back to the contracting company. That can take awhile. PJ got really
    Lucky with Ten, and saw in hand profit in less than 2 yrs. that is rare!

    I just don't understand the appeal of Ed Sheeran.
    Everything he does, there's a dozen guys who do it better and are better looking.  His songwriting is mediocre and uninspired, I just don't get it.

    He irritates me.
    Some moron I used to work with labeled his music as 'alternative rock'

    So I checked out some Portugal. The Man today and I gotta say, I dig them.  I've never heard of them until a buddy of mine last night mentioned them saying "Hail Satan" during their Grammy acceptance speech.  That was reason enough for me to check them out.  Apparently they've been around for over a decade and have 8 albums?

    Lil Nas X was a cross over artist, how could he not be on there?
