Not always about you, Mr. West

What I heard, then saw on a Yahoo video, what Kanye West did during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech during the MTV awards, it makes me wonder why some people think their star is so big that they say or do whatever they want?

I want now to direct you to my friend, Sue Wilson's blog. She posted last week how down to earth Taylor Swift really is. If anyone would know about being down to earth, it's Sue.

Maybe someone could send Kanye West that way. He could learn something.

I just read about what happened this morning. Truly disgusting. But then, Beyonce truly showed what a class act really is by allowing Taylor to come back up during her time.

OK now I'm torn between commenting as the media blogger that I am, and as a person/fan of Taylor's. So I'll do a little of both.

From the media blog perspective: The MTV VMA's have had some sort of controversy attached in recent years. Kanye provided that controversy with his stunt. Controversy usually = ratings.

From the personal standpoint: Taylor handled it about the best way anyone could. And I LOVED the fact that Beyonce gave Taylor her moment to shine. IMO Kanye was a real jerk and I don't really believe his apology that is being circulated. If he was TRULY sorry, he would apologize to Taylor in person, not post it on his blog.

Just this media blogger/Taylor Swift fan's opinion...

Sometimes it is easy to see who has class and tact and who will never acquire this trait.

I was not surprised- He's had problems with his words before.
I do wonder, however, why MTV ignored the fact that 1)there is a 7 minute delay that they could have used 2)surely there was security by the steps that could have stopped the interruption. Perhaps they allowed it to happen for the publicity that all the drama caused? Just sayin'..

Kudos to Beyonce- a classy lady.

I seen the VMA's and I was ticked when I seen him do that to Taylor. It was plain rude and self centered. Besides that he took away from the beautiful tribute to Micheal Jackson by his stunt. Kanye should be ashamed and learn that the world doesn't revolve around him. Kudo's to Beyonce for helping out Taylor.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The game was
