Kanye Crashes Music Awards Stage
When favorite
video is not
nominated
(A P )--R a p star Kanye W est was
nam ed Best Hip Hop artist, but still
cam e o ff as a sore loser at the MTV
E u ro p e
M u sic
A w a rd s in
C openhagen. Denmark.
W est apparently was so disap­
pointed at not w inning for Best
V ideo that he crashed the stage
Thursday in Copenhagen when the
aw ard was being presented to Jus­
tice and Simian for "W e A re Your
Friends."
In a tirade riddled with exple­
tives, W est said he should have
won the prize for his video "Touch
The Sky," because it "cost a million
dollars, Pamela A nderson w as in it.
I was jum ping across canyons."
"If I don’t win, the aw ards show
loses credibility," W est said.
The rapper grabbed the Best Hip
Hop award earlier in the night in a
star-studded event hosted by Justin
Timberlake in the Danish capital.
West has a particular affinity for
the "Touch T he Sky" video. In an
interview w ith The A ssociated
Press in August, he expressed his
displeasure that the clip, an elabo­
rate Evel Knievel spoof, didn't get
nom inated for an MTV Video M u­
sic Award.
"It didn't get any nominations,
but it’s one o f the most memorable
videos o f the year for me," he told
AP.
It'salso n o t the first time he's had
a meltdow n at an aw ards show. At
the 2004 Am erican Music Awards,
West bitterly com plained backstage
that he was robbed when he didn't
win a trophy.

John Lee Hooker Jr.

Hooker, whose father was an architect of
modern American blues in the 1940s and ‘50s
with hits like “Boogie Chillen.” "I'm in the
Mood" and "Crawlin’ Kingsnake," has evolved
into a formidable blues figure in his own right
- as evidenced by a Grammy nomination and
a Handy Award for his 2004 release, “ Blues
with a Vengeance.”
Armed with a clever and topical sense of
songcraft, a compelling vocal attack and a
solid backup crew, Hooker infuses “Cold As
