Maybe I’m just getting old, maybe good taste is no longer a factor in popular culture, but MTV’s Video Music Awards were downright frightening last night. Every single attempted joke flopped, and the music was horrid.What’s with 95% of the fare being rap/hip-hop, all produced by the same producers and sounding exactly alike? The several rock band given the nod were equally pathetic: Panic! at the Disco - whaa?! These guys get all this good indie blog press? Don’t get it. OK Go performing step for step the treadmill routine we’ve all seen before online? Host Jack Black simply not given any material with which to make people laugh? Sarah Silverman’s dry pan humor thudding left and right? Shakira proving for 5 minutes straight that, no, she really can’t bellydance? The sole moment of sanity was Pink sneering on camera at all before her, then getting on the mic and imitating with disgust Paris Hilton – classic.
If this is what the kids of today are listening to and watching…boy, I must really be getting old.
