Winner – Jay-Z – An 8 night run at an arena puts you in U2 and Bruce areas. It means you're playing Metlife next tour. An 8 night run at an arena you part own makes you a mogul in U2 and Bruce areas. It's like Derek Jeter being part owner of the Yankees or something. And while I was less than thrilled by the concert, though I didn't dislike it, and while it wasn't the Black Man Elected President of Hip Hop, people seem to think it is. It sure is something else.
Loser – Billie Joe Armstrong – How is this for dumb. On the wagon for a year, during which, at nearly any time he could have fallen off for a month or so and no one would've been any the wise, and Billie Joe remains sober. Good for him -more power to the man. So he waits until the entire worlds eyes are upon him, gets polluted, makes an ass of himself at "IHEARTRADIO" and ends in rehab. Incidentally, I think my opinion of the album is in the minority, but I really, really love Uno, which makes this doubly sad. Sobriety is a hard road, it is worse with everyone watching.
