OT: Is anybody else sick of this A-hole???

[Rick]

Kanye West opened for U2 a few years ago. We stood out in the hallway with the other 90% of the crowd drinking beer until he got finished. Not a good matchup. It was like the Black Eyed Peas opening for AC/DC.

opened for U2??????????????????

NO WAY.

Yep. It was only on four dates of their 2005 tour, and I apparently saw the first of them.

U2 - December 2005
4, 5 - Boston, MA - TD BankNorth Garden
7 - Hartford, CT - Hartford Civic Center
9 - Buffalo, NY - HSBC Arena
10 - Cleveland, OH - Gund Arena
12 - Charlotte, NC - New Charlotte Arena
14 - Saint Louis, MO - Savvis Center (w/ Kanye West)
15 - Omaha, NE - Qwest Center Omaha (w/ Kanye West)
17 - Salt Lake City, UT - Delta Center (w/ Kanye West)
19 - Portland, OR - Rose Garden Arena (w/ Kanye West)

All I heard (and felt) were subwoofers thumping from out in the hall.

Good choice....I would have to be paid to sit through a Kanye West concert.

I'd have to be paid to sit through either. Not a West, U2 or Bono fan. I don't care for people who use their fame as leverage. Their opinions are no more valid than those of anyone else.

I love U2. Rick, I think Bono does a lot of good in the world. I have to admit sometimes it's a bit too much and he just needs to be a rocker. And, apparently, he's received that criticism from his bandmates.

But I found it kind of odd here he is always studying Christianity and what it means and he's out on a boat with 19-year-olds. What man his age needs to call two 19-year-olds to hang out on their boat with he and his friend while he's on vacation? He's married with children. Seemed perverted to me.

Why? They're legal! I'm kidding! As a father of a 16 year old, I'm constantly worried about pervs. Listening to some of the people at work talk scares the hell out of me.

Uh Oh. You're asking for it now!!! I got creamed when I suggested that recently.

from all appearances at the time it did seem that Prez Bush was not that concerned about the lives of all those people who died or drowned from the hurricane. His Sec'y of State was photographed in New York shopping for shoes and attending a Broadway opening; others were going about their lives seemingly undisturbed by a storm which was killing thousands; although there were blacks and whites who died Kanye just saw as did many others; the pictures of all those people who was clustered around the Arena. And yes, I have to say it did seem from the lack of response and lack of concern at the time the Prez was not that prepared to care for the poor, the homeless, the ill, the elderly, the sick, the young or those who just could not leave those States. It was not the brightest thing to say but it did make a point and it did garner attention which finally caused the federal governement to come in and start to save the lives of all those helpless people.

Sorry, but this is too funny in a dark comedic kind of way.

I remember after Katrina happened, I was watching some telethon deal. Never heard of him before that. They were appealing to people for red cross donations- this dbag yells "President Bush hates black people!" on live TV. While I'm not a Bush fan, I thought "what an idiotic thing to say at a time like this" and then I just heard him all over the place, not his music, just his mouth. "Voice of a generation", hardly, voice of a pampered rap star. He and Pdiddy... I can't stand either of them and wish they'd go away.

No shit. Two of the biggest douchebags ever to foul the entertainment industry.

Kanye's a dick. I feel bad that I like a lot of his songs. =/
