For once, Kanye was speechless

Just by sheer luck, Jay scheduled an appearance by Kanye, Jay-Z, and Rihanna to perform their newest hit "Run This town." After Kanye's antics Sunday night, Leno's people must have been salivating at the ratings bonanza from having Kanye on there. Kanye asked Leno if he could make some impromptu remarks about the incident at the VMA's. Kanye came on and, I believe, sincerely apologized for taking the stage and hurting Taylor Swift. When Leno asked him what his mother would have thought about all of it, Kanye choked up and became speechless. The entire studio was dead silent for almost a minute. I believe Kanye was sincere because he figeted throughout the entire interview and appeared on the verge of tears after Leno brought up his mother. He appeared without his sunglasses and without his coat. He looked like a small child who had been sent to the principal's office and threatened with a call to his parents. It was uncomfortable to watch at home and, I'm sure, uncomfortable for Leno as well. Kanye reiterated again he has not taken any time off from the music business since his mother passed; he vowed to take some time and reevaluate his plans for the future. I sincerely hope he takes a good hard look at the direction his life has taken and makes some serious changes in his own attitude, actions, and entourage.
