Sunday Service by Kanye West
While trying to figure out whether he is a complete moron or a true marketing guru (most likely both) I ́m totally thrilled with the last occurrence of Kanye West, this time during the increasingly cloying Coachella festival.
The fact is that after starring numerous articles before the lineup was even announced (due to Kanye's stage requirements) and the reason why he ended up being replaced by Ariana Grande (whom was reportedly paid an 8 million Dollars for her two headlining sets, a festival record), the rapper announced last Saturday night an upcoming Sunday Service at the festival site.
And on Sunday, like believing himself some sort of Jesus, accompanied by a gospel choir and with the Instagram of everyone who was there (after getting up early and waiting a long time) fuming, Kanye showed up to present his new single “Water” (plus playing many more songs) and to feed (even more) his already big ego once given the opportunity. Genius and figure right up to the grave!
There are hundreds of videos on YouTube, so better judge the scene for yourself. Oh, if only my beloved John Lennon were able to see it…!
