I like Hilary...but she is on my crap list after seeing the video for her & Hayley's HORRID remake of "Our Lips Are Sealed." And they copied the video too. Oy vey.

The best way I can sum up MTV is that Beavis and Butt-Head would NEVER make it to air nowadays...the artists that the channel pushes the most are the very type of thing they used to make fun of.

When I went to the movies with friends over the weekend one of the guys said a friend had some tapes of the old 120 Minutes shows and we all went "awwwww..." Never in my life did I think I'd miss Kennedy.

I think the change really started when Viacom bought them out...before that it was much more random (good random) - all types of music mixed together, playing Pink Floyd The Wall at 2 AM for no reason, etc. Once Viacom came along they insisted on making "shows." I think they even had to do with Nirvana being pushed and all the hair bands going away. They didn't think the 2 could coexist. They were looking at MTV like it was a radio station. It's supposed to be all kinds of music, not just one...but of course now, it's pretty much no music at all. M2 is getting just as bad. And don't even get me started on VH1.

There's a new channel called Fuse that is supposedly what MTV used to be - I can get some of it from my On Demand but I think you have to watch a while to really get the feel of it. I agree w/ Tinydancer, thank heaven for VH1 Classic.

Does anyone remember THE BOX?? Can't beat people calling in to hear "Gangsta Lean" every half hour.

I just picked up one of my old Rolling Stones last night (from like 1996) and they had an article in about MTV which was kind of what we are talking about. If I'm bored at home this weekend, I'll type it in here.
