in the spirit of "saved you a click," I'll try to save you a Google, with some context re the "Shirley's recent letter to Kanye" reference.
Garbage's singer wrote an open letter calling out Kanye West for calling out Beck for winning a Grammy. this letter calls out the singer for calling out Kanye for calling out Beck.
basically:
Kanye: "you should give the Grammy to Beyoncé, to show respect for artistry."
Shirley: "you should shut the fuck up, to show respect for artistry."
photographer: "you should pay me if you want to use my work, to show respect for artistry."
basically, the artists' opinions here grow progressively less ridiculous as the artists' incomes approach the poverty level. which kind of bothers me.
edit: the artists' opinions also grow progressively less ridiculous as a function of the artists' distance from Kanye West.

- woof 12y agoYou missed the important parts and brought in Kanye West -to "save us a click"? WTF? Please read the letter from mr. Pope again, the moronic answer from Garbage on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/GarbageOfficial/posts/981221691888682 https://www.facebook.com/GarbageOfficial/posts/9812216918886...) and _think_!
