Tuesday Morning Coffee Break

Since I didn't get to my regular Monday post, I figured I would get it in this morning. I had a good weekend and played my first round of golf in almost 13 years! Last night, I tried BYFUGLIEN & Rotweizen at Goose Island and they both were excellent. It's a crappy morning here in Chicago, but have a cup of coffee, catch your breath. Phish summer tour begins this Friday!!!!

Kanye West made an ass out of himself once again, by crashing Taylor Swift's party as she accepted her award for "Best Female Video", at the MTV Video Music Awards. West grabbed the mic and proclaimed that Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" was one of the best videos of all time. After West finished his tirade, he handed the microphone back to Swift who was visibly shaken. This just confirms to everyone that Kanye West is the biggest ASSHOLE in music! [via Jambase]
