I know, I know. It sucks. But I look at it this way, most of the crew members who edit that show and make greeks look bad were probably people who were outcasts in college or people who tried to rush but never got bids. Those are the only reasons why people hate on greeks. The people who were'nt outcasts and who didnt rush dont really have an opinion on greeks at all.

D A, What do you think?

I know the two of us have been around a lot of people in the music/entertainment industry. (You're on a way different level though.)

I think there is a different outlook as far as politics goes-much more liberal. It's hard to blend music about "social consciousness" with what others "believe" being a Republican is all about. I think many draw the same conclusions about Greeks.

I know many couldn't believe I was in a sorority (as rarely as it came up) and thought I was joking. My daughter is friends with
many different bands. She wears "DG" everywhere. They can't believe she is Greek and swear she is an exception to the system. Has it changed all that much?

PS-Bob Dylan sold out!!! I saw him in a commercial last night!
Does he need the money?

JAM,

I think you're right, but in terms of MTV, I don't believe there is any particular ideology behind their content decisions -- they simply want controversy at every turn.

They make everything look slimey. Oh, wait, that's Nick that slimes people. Oh, wait, they're owned by the same company.

While I think that MTV does get more than its share of "music biz" types, a lot of their folks are fairly typical young broadcasters who do what they do because that's what they're paid for. Or they want to continue their youthful rebellion. Do something long enough, and you start believing it's right.

They're not liberal, they're anarchists.

But then we went through many threads about MTV's programming morality when they started the Sorority Life show a couple years ago.

The thing is that they know that no matter how bad they tick young people off -- they'll still watch.

Makes a LOT of sense!
