Steel Panther Does It Again!
Monday, February 16, 2015 at 12:01AM
Kanye West was a jackass at the Grammy Awards (again) and now the guys in Steel Panther are calling the rapper out on his insanity. Steel Panther posted this on their Facebook, earning hundreds of shares and counting.

If he was joking, it would be a different story. It would have been awesome. But he blew it in the interview afterwards, although he did apologize a couple days later so at least he realizes he's an ass.
Once a jacka*s, always a jacka*s!
This talentless hack needs to "disappear", as they say in the street justice business.
Not SP's best effort. Then again, they didn't need to sketch out a parody masterpiece when that would be wasting time and ink.
West is just the latest in a long line of musicians--from Clapton down to Adler (in a scale of arbitrary greatness that I won't even bother defending or adding to)--who mistake the insular world of "yes" for never having to "know" when to muzzle their particular, and peculiar, thoughts. [Sidebar: That Beck, a Scientologist, would come out of this unscathed, particularly with all of the bad mojo surrounding his religion as of late, is just another sign of how the laser of notoriety slashes and burns with little rhyme and limited duration.]
Yes, success. That final arbiter of all things good and just. If that were true--and if it then set up a scale that actually determined who "sucks" and who doesn't and who does, but only just a teeny bit--a site like this wouldn't exist [and I want to make this clear to some who might not follow . . . this site doesn't suck, even if much of what we hold dear "didn't suck" for only a short period of time and/or now "sucks" when success is used as a yardstick].
Funny how factual opinions turn out to be. Then again, that is just mine.
Kanye West hoards the spotlight with a cheap "in joke" at a moment of success for another artist and gets laughs when the cane should have come out from stage left to snag him into the pergotory of mediocrity where he belongs.
HIM, you bring up one good point, though Beck should remain unscathed in this one, it is a shame he's too brainwashed to realize he's part of a cult that's only calls itself a "religion" for tax purposes.
Unfortunately, one of the "heroes" of this site, chronic bass overplayer, Shilly Sheeman of The Whinery Cogs, is yet another high-profile shill for the quasi-religion, though he doesn't strike me as much of a "deer-in-the-headlights" victim as Beck. Sheehan seems like someone who is unwittingly and semi-consciously condoning Scientology's powerful mind control techniques, rationalizing the aftermath of leaving dead souls or, in several cases, even dead bodies, in it's wake as merely a small price the cult has to pay to keep the machine running.
In summary, I applaud SP for standing up against Kanye- who, if you really take note, did interrupt Beck as a "joke", but still later berated the Grammy's anyway; but I would have wanted SP to not wish cancer on this joke- known as Kanye. Again, they could have really come up with cheaper tricks in the lyrics.
BTW, I just heard a recent interview Howard did with Jay Z and really enjoyed the interview and Jay Z's perspective on things. I know he is being called a whole lot of racial epitaphs on other "Howard Stern" blogs I follow, but for those who are open-minded enough, I suggest going on you-tube, if you don't have Sirius, to give it a listen...if just to broaden your knowledge. JMHO.
