Kurt’s Blog: The VMA Pre-Show Confuses the Heck Out of Me
Posted on by Producer Kurt in Kurt's Blog

So I was watching the VMA Pre-Show (because my life is an oyster)…I’ll blame it to the heat exhaustion.

The worst part of the VMAs? It made me feel old…not because of anything shocking…but because for a 35 minute span during the pre-show, I had no idea of who anyone was on the TV.

Who’s this?

Who’s this dude?

I don’t know who these two gals are…is one a Kardashian?

Who are these groups?

Is that James Franco from Spring Breakers? Is this the return of Kevin Federline? Who is this fool?

I’m no longer hip to the kids…

AWESOME is as AWESOME does!
