If Rodney Dangerfield has ever had a heckler run up on stage during his stand-up performance, then he would get more respect from the media. That's been happening to country singer Taylor Swift for the past month.
Ever since the incident at the Video Music Awards, Taylor Swift has had the media showing countless love and boosting her exposure. In fact her exposure was so great that she she even got to do a double whammy on Saturday Night Live as host and Musical Guest that night. She reached the peak last night at the Dick Clark owned American Music Awards when she won 5 awards, including artist of the year. For country music listeners and fans, its a big ordeal; but for non-country music listeners, its obviously surreal.
I forgot that the American Music Awards was on last night, even though I had to work at white-ass Simi Valley last night doing security there. But I'm glad that I didn't see that shit. Everyone knew and predicted that it was gonna be another Swift/Michael Jackson fest. The ironic part was that both of them weren't present at the show in Los Angeles (LA Live was PACKED that night, along with the Laker game in Staples Center). Swift was in London and Michael Jackson is, of course, dead. From what I read, he even won 4 awards that night, and his brother took them upon his behalf. The Black Eyed Peas went "L.A. Live Hopping" going from peforming on the show, to watching Kobe Bryant and the Lakeshow courtside across the street. Also, Whitney Houston and Jennifer Lopez came out of retirement again giving performances during the telecast, a little something for the OGs. I'm pretty sure the Nielsen ratings are gonna be hella low for this, cause the Grammy Awards are gonna do the same shit in Feburary.
As far as Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts, they're just doing what every Quarterback and football team should do: win games. They had two close games against the New England Patriots last week and the Baltimore Ravens yesterday. I'm sure they'll go all the way to the "big dance", and continuing sending positive messages towards it fans unlike other sports francises.
By the way, this is the week I dislike the most. You got Thanksgiving on Thursday and then after that the "Holiday/Christmas frenzy" begins with Black-Friday sales. My parents are split so I don't see it making sense to have dinner with one of them, which is why I don't like Thanksgiving as a holiday. But I am thankful that they're still around. Now I'm gonna endure them for a week, at home.
