Should we change all the thread titles to "Something Juggs and Horn will have in common and argue with everyone else on the board about and then a mod will come in and be mellow and respectful to try and diffuse the fact that you have the social skills of a thumbtack and what appears to be absolutely no real social life between the two of you"?
Seeing as how about 95% of my posts occur between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., I'm curious as to how that would impact my social life. Generally, "social life" takes place after the close of standard business hours. Though I suppose that only applies to the employable, so I guess I understand how you might have a tough time comprehending it.
I don't think the comments are a big deal. Performers do risk there lives a lot of the time. And yes Kanye does do some dangerous sh*t in his show. It's not like cops are in a constant firefight and are risking their lives 24/7.
Some certainly do. But I just read this and thoughts of those old Southern Sheriffs run through my mind.

He was not just talking about small town cops. He was referencing a lot of others that risk their lives on a daily basis, soldiers on the front lines, for example.
Risking your life in battle where things are not controlled or scripted, and are all together unpredictable is not a good comparison to a performer. Yes, he may take some chances. But whatever chances there may be that put Kanye in any danger is a highly calculated, well tested, OSHA approved, risk.
All in all the cop gets some notoriety and Kanye goes on making millions of dollars. It really is a win win.

Coconut has worked out who Horn's fiancee is.
Juggs and Horn would make a lovely couple as well.

I am a Kanye fan. He's at the top of my wishlist right below Prince. That said, I don't get why there's such a rush to defend him around here when he says something stupid. Dumb, delusional comments are his MO. He's a musical visionary in my opinion, but it's not like he's some genius philosopher.
Conversely, people take his persona into account and blow off the great music he makes, which is a shame.
But his music is often infused with so much of his egotism that it's pretty damn difficult to separate the two a lot of the time. I mean really, you can't make a song called "I Am a God" and somehow expect me to overlook the persona behind it. Even Bono ain't that self-absorbed.

Now that I think about it, between Kendrick and Kanye's set, security yelled at me when I re-entered and walked past them. The wanted to make sure they got a chance to wave their metal detecting wand over me before going into the arena. I didn't get searched on the initial entry.

That's still not assessing his music, though.
I beg to differ - the music is inextricably tied to its subject matter and lyrical content. How are the lyrics not a part of the music?
I really don't care if he's a narcissist in his everyday life, because plenty of people are - but when he's a narcissist in his music, that's when I stop listening. A huge part of music is about making some sort of connection with your audience, whether that means getting them to dance to a beat or feel moved by your lyrics. When Kanye writes songs about how much he thinks the sun shines out of his own ass, it just makes me feel alienated.
I've said time and again he's a good producer, but expecting me to just overlook the lyrics is like expecting someone to enjoy a good steak served with a dog turd instead of mashed potatoes.
So I ordered floor tickets for the show in Auburn Hills this coming Thursday and got the tickets you print off cause I didn't wanna spend the extra money to make sure they'd be here in time and on my tickets it says "VIP floor General Admission". Do all the floor ones say that? Cause I remember there was regular floor tickets and VIP floor tickets for the show in Columbus. Also for the people who went how quick does the floor fill out? I am trying to get as close as possible. I get off work at 1 it's roughly a 4 hour drive so I will be there 2 hours before the doors open. Hopefully I can get pretty close.

I have no idea what the floor tickets say, but there was a separate area for VIPs closer to the mountain that ran alongside the walkway. Other floor ticket holders were in front of the walkway.
edit: I should probably use runway instead of walkway
