The Moody Bugle

About this Blog

The title, "The Moody Bugle," comes from a series of letters my Grandmother wrote during World War II to her five sons in the military and her two daughters. The "Bugle" was eight pieces of onion skin typing paper, with seven pieces of carbon paper between them, jammed into a Royal typewriter with the platen open. One copy went into the family file, the other seven went to the various postings of sons and daughters around the world. Once, every seven weeks, you'd be the one who got the final, hard to read, copy. When my grandmother died in the late 1960s, my grandfather gave these letters to me. I treasure them still and hope, that in some small way, these electronic musings will somehow match the heart, humor and humanity found in those original letters.

Basically, friends, we're going to cover everything, whatever is on my mind or yours. Jump in!

Our Kanye Moment

Posted by Greg_Moody

It wouldn't be a music awards show without an outrageous Kanye moment.

And his stepping up during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech to say that Beyonce should have gotten it was certainly that -- an outrageous Kanye moment.

The question now -- was it pure ego at work? Righteous outrage for a fellow artiste?

Or -- was it a calculated move on KDub's part to keep his streak of outrageous behavior going?

Or -- was it a planned MTV moment designed to keep the fading VMA's totally on the edge? (Ooooh! Can you BELIEVE what happens on that show?)

Ahhh ... something new has been added. The plot sickens.

I'm pretty sure it was nothing but ego, but there's a little corner of skepticism in my soul that no longer takes much of anything in the entertainment world at face value.

How sad.
