Sarah Taylor’s FASHION + Music picks: “Limit to Your Love” by James Blake and “Runaway” by Kanye West
Kanye West, “Runaway”
I have admitted to myself that I love Kanye West. I won’t justify this proclamation too much but I will say that I no longer feel bad about this fact. I saw his much talked about 2010 MTV VMA performance of “Runaway,” and since its release I haven’t been able to stop watching his 35-minute short film of the same name–it’s that strange and captivating. And of course, it’s also stunningly gorgeous. There are a lot of haters who are happy to put down something different and that may just be a little too easy, don’t you think? I say less cynicism and more freedom. More expression and more beauty. And maybe a toast for the jerkoffs.
Best line from the film Runaway: “First rule of living in this world, baby? Don’t pay attention to anything you see in the news.”
