I know very little about modern music. I like a few songs here and there, but for the most part I like old stuff. Also, I've never really gotten into the whole pop/rap/new agey stuff that's pretty popular now. (As I'm writing this I'm realizing what an old lady I am...) Anyway, so there's the reason I've successfully avoided the VMAs this evening. I didn't even know they were on or were even a thing still. Who still makes videos?
But that's where Twitter comes into play. For better or worse you can learn things on Twitter. If you follow the right sites you can get breaking news updates or find out just when all the best airfare goes on sale. You can also learn the "Breaking News of the Entertainment World." This is as about as exciting as it sounds. So since the VMAs were on tonight, the big breaking news headlines were all about that crowd.
Therefore I learned that Justin Bieber made his big comeback tonight at the show. I don't know about you, but I've most definitely seen his mug making a fool out of himself for the last year in every newspaper, or news site. How exactly is this a big comeback? What is he coming back from? And why does it look like he got attacked by a flock of birds on the way to the show?
I also learned that Miley Cyrus was taking over hosting duties for the evening. Why in the world would anyone give her that chance after being so crude and crass the FCC wanted her fined a few years ago? Are the VMAs just asking for trouble?
I suppose, that all of this is to say, sometimes, Twitter can just be a little too helpful. I could have lived my entire life without knowing anything about tonight's awards....
