Oh how I long for the good old days of MTV, everything seemed so cool and neon, Video didn't kill the radio star, video made radio stars. I mean seriously, would there be as many boy bands with limo's if there weren't videos? Ok, some may debate that there were boy bands before music video and of course there was, but that actually required talent- now all ya need is a good haircut.
Up this week are hipsters to hillbiles a nice sort of hodge podge of musical genre's and hey ho, Toby Keith! There is not one program that I would want to see. Bonnie Raitt? Neon Trees? Deadmau5? Nah, I'd rather snooze.
