Screw Actually Watching the VMAs — I’ll Just Take the Recaps, Thanks…
I almost never watch any of that godawful pile of awards shows these days (especially not the MTV-hosted ones). The recaps {Houston Press}‘s Shea Serrano does for each one are a large part of the reason why: http://blogs.houstonpress.com/rocks/2011/08/vma_beyonce_baby_lady_gaga_fal.php.
Favorite line (of the moment, anyway)?:
“Worst, most annoying couple of all time: Russell Brand and Katy Perry. It’d be neat if a plane landed on them.”
Russel Brand / Katy Perry quote was my sentiment exactly. I laughed frozen alcoholic beverage out of my nose.
I watched and was appalled by the lack of ROCK. I don’t know when I last watched, but it was definitely more rock oriented just a few years ago.
