Patrick Kane is a creepy jerk bc he enjoys drinking and pulling girls? I guess 90% of the male gender is "a creepy jerk". The DA called the "so called case" a "joke" and was planning on pressing charges against the accuser BUT did not bc he didn't want to deter rape victims from coming forward. You are usually a joke Tanner, but I especially love your "minus" on the Greatest American NHL player in the game and, when he's done, greatest of all time.

Dude, you are an incredible hypocrite.

that's a win for you.

Kanye and Kendrick? Dear lord gross.

I really don't get how music fans get weak at the knees for these douchebags. They are to music what Donald Trump is to politics.

First of all, with very few exceptions (Neko Case) nearly everyone who records in a big expensive studio for real music producers uses some form of pitch correction software. I'd say 99%.

Second, autotune is a specific thing that gives your voice that wavy sound - its more about the sound it makes than using it to cover up for vocal deficiencies, it's no different than a singer using a vocador (Strokes) or a megaphone or a guitar player using an effects pedal (which they all do).

Third, asking for some kind of natural process or authenticity in the recording studio is hilarious. Why not just say that if a band was any good they wouldn't record track by track? Or they wouldn't use studio musicians or any one of a million things you clearly have no idea about but would consider "cheating".

It's just ridiculous to say a guy who used autotune isn't a real musician. I don't even know what else to say. It's a very strange complaint.

Probably the only post of yours i have ever agreed with, and go figure it isn't even about hockey at all

Very well said though

Kanye and Kelly Hrudey are both talentess bumholes

Dude, you are an incredible hypocrite.

I was getting ready to post the exact same thing!
But figured i would see if anyone beat me to it.
Thank you!

Technology can be used by real musicians to create something new.

It can also fool you into believing that models/actresses (like, say JLo) can sing or that curators (like Kanye, at best, is) are actual musicians.

The Hockey Hipster strikes again!

Dude, you are an incredible hypocrite.

You quoted me saying that its up to each person how much of a jerk someone can be before it affects how you feel about their art. I mean, you quoted it and called me a hypocrite anyways.

You guys are in such a hurry to throw out a gotcha that you don't even pay attention to whats being said.

Good player but he's a total bumhole. Thinks he's above the law. Let's not forget how he treated the cab driver. He could learn from Crosby how to be a good citizen.

Yep, that makes it consistent. Sort of like saying "you're a jagoff... but no offense intended".... Sorry, it doesn't work that way....

Sport is not art. This should be so obvious that it doesn't need to be pointed out. Try the argument again when they have advanced stats for art. IOW never.

Your entire rationale as usual is sophistry. A common illness among liberals.

Not any more.

And he was and perhaps is an entitled wiener. Maybe even "creepy". Doesn't change the result on the ice or what he is as a player.

And Crosby illegitimately skipped so many ASGs they now suspend players for legitimately doing the same. So what?

If you're going to judge them as players USE what you see on the ice.

I could have used Captain Serious instead of Crosby. He could learn from either one.

So Toews is sick as a dog and misses the third period with a severe case of the flu and he's the same as Crosby who played the entire game before the ASG and decides he is injured... Nice logic

Kanya is a self absorbed douche.


Makes good music though

I'm not talking about hockey at all. Jesus are you guys slow or something. I'm not judging Kane as a hockey player. Read the first two words of my original post. And who cares about the stupid all star game?

You gotta just ignore those dudes. Anyone else who read it can see what you meant!!

It was a good game though.

I agree, but the public persona is - at least to me - entertaining and hilarious.

Pierre McGuire is one of the best? Really?

It was excellent. I think the league nailed it. Scott came out the hero. Love it.

Exactly. Kanye has reached the point of the Beatles or a movie like Apocolypse Now! Where, even if you don't like it and it isn't your thing, you should respect it if you want to sound like you know what you're talking about at all.

Fair enough

For me he's so irksome. But I can't understand someone not taking it seriously and finding it all super funny
