So I made a pathetic attempt to feign relevancy by busting in on Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the VMAs.
Anyone who has read my blog probably knows that Taylor Swift's music doesn't exactly intersect with my tastes. But, I have seen her live (15 year old daughters do that to you) and I respect her talents as a song writer and as an artist.
Kanye West, on the other hand, can't crank out a passable song with the assistance of massive vocal processing and I can't even classify what he produces as music. No sense of melody combined with vocal talents on par with mine = crap. He just might want to sit down and shut up before the entire planet realizes that. So, fuck him.
OK, so kudos to Beyonce for trying to make things right during her later acceptance speech. An awkward moment, but it's the thought that counts.

When Beyonce won her award I believe she invited Taylor back up to complete her speech. Not sure though as I didn't watch it; I only read that after the fact.
Kanye must go away. Now, more than ever.
You're right. I went to bed before that. Not enough metal in the show to hold my interest. I did see it in the morning and update the post, however.
