Guys like Kanye and Joel Osteen are a dime a dozen, they're con artists selling an invisible product, people bought it, and that's about it.

At least when Neal Morse made his rock opera about Jesus, he had the musical talent to back it up.

But artist? Hell no. I will give Kanye credit though in that there's nobody in their right mind who would pay $225 for a hooded sweatshirt. But slap the Kanye name on there and all of a sudden people are like "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!".

that any disparaging comment was met with alert swarms. Perhaps this and the Trump shit will finally end such nonsense.

When was that? 2011? I don't care enough to look it up.

The Trump stuff just made me dislike him even more than I already did, which I didn't think was possible.

And there's no ego on the planet more massive than Kanye. Maybe Trump. They might be tied for first.

Don't want to watch his 'sermon'.
