Boy, do I ever agree...MTV in the mid- '80s was really great. Laurie
Anderson, Kate Bush, Erasure, Pet Shop Boys, and many many more! It was
wonderful. 

There are *so many* great and creative new videos out: some by very
famous artists (George Michael's new one is terrific, so are the
dance-track videos: so sexy and great dance music, not that rap-crap...). 

Anyway, like everything else in Madison Avenue ad-man Amerika, they get
into the groove of what "they think" is cool and happenin' and what ever
semblemce of "art" MTV had is now history. Been this way for
years...wonder if it's goona stay this way 'till they finally run out of
"new ideas" to keep the teeny-boppers whatching and fall of the planet
for good...?
