If you're a Puerto Rican who's been living under a rock like I have, you probably missed the epic "fuck you" Rene Perez blasted at the island's governor during the MTV Latino Awards. He called out the governor of Puerto Rico for pink-slipping 20,000 government workers and punctuated his rant with a "son of the greatest whore".

Here's the transcript:

"América Latina no está completa sin Puerto Rico y Puerto Rico no es libre. Hoy 15 de octubre los puertorriqueños marcharon contra el desempleo, porque el gobernador de Puerto Rico los dejó sin trabajo y el gobernador de Puerto Rico es un hijo de la gran puta. Yo lo puedo decir porque sé y porque tengo influencia. Hoy los puertorriqueños estamos de pie"

"Latin America is not complete without Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico is not free. Today, on the 15th of Octber, Puerto Ricans marched against unemployment because the governor of Puerto Rico left them without jobs and that governor of Puerto Rico is the son of the greatest whore. I can say that because I know and have influence. Today Puerto Ricans, we are all standing on our own feet".

He obviously wasn't well prepared in what he had to say, but it's still and awesomely epic moment.

STEAL MIC, AVENGE BEYONCE

First, check out the whole gallery of MemeGenerator responses to Kanye's night of infamy. It's hilarious.

Second, there's a whole list of celebrity twittering recorded at OhNoTheyDidn't after Kanye West's dickish move against Taylor Swift.

To the 9 of you who didn't watch or hear about last night's Video Music Awards, this is what went down: Taylor Swift won the Best Female Video category for "You Belong With Me"; beating Beyoncé’s "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)". To which Kanye burst onto the stage in the middle of Taylor's acceptance speech to proclaim the almost parodical output by Beyonce was "the best video of the decade".

Yeah. He was that big of a dick.

I think Pink was one of the first one's to twitter, Kanye west is the biggest piece of shit on earth. Quote me. But Katy Perry put it best when she said, FUCK U KANYE. IT'S LIKE U STEPPED 0N A KITTEN.

And then there's Kelly Clarkson's response. From ohnotheydidnt: Kanye "Apology":

Whoever threw this together is my hero/ine.

So Michael R's calls last night to ask if I am still alive. I have been incredibly busy trying to juggle 6 different projects plus the kids plus Xmas and well, he reminded me how guilty I have been feeling about not being able to blog not even part-time these days.

So this morning I was thinking, hmmmmmm, do I use "Staying Alive" or "She Works Hard" for my "I'm not dead yet" post?

I settled for Donna and not the Bee Gees, first because of Travolta and second because my present situation is very 1980's, very recession and Reaganomics with a whiff of Iran-Contra secret war. I get the embed and here's what I got :

I can't believe I had no memory whatsoever of that white woman. "She works hard (for the money)" has never been in my mind a song about "working poor" white women. And the fact that her song is being told by a black woman ... wow.

It's debatable whether Hip Hop won out and took over MTV. At the time it was a big deal to see people like Donna Summers even though she was the biggest female pop vocalist in the United States (if not the world). Prince, Michael Jackson : they were on semi-regular rotation on MTV only because they were the acceptable "poppish" negroes.

MTV is now a lifestyle network:

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - MTV on Wednesday unveiled a new scheduling strategy that will reshuffle and expand its primetime lineup. In addition, the lifestyle programming network has greenlit two series, one featuring "Jackass"'
Bam Margera and the other centered on wrestling.

WTF! I guess the music part of Music TV is just a metaphor.
