I really did not care about the visual aspect for most the videos. If the video was stupid (e.g. monster spoof) it would interfere with my appreciation for the music itself. <br /> <br />Changing missions seems to be a way of life for speciality cable channels.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055468613470143350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-72251620925416209542011-07-31T20:30:40.694-07:002011-07-31T20:30:40.694-07:00In 1982, when my husband and I got married, we got...In 1982, when my husband and I got married, we got cable. We loved MTV. The videos were great little pieces of cinema. Thriller was a terrific mini-musical. Now all they show is vapid reality shows and beach scenes shot ten years ago. Do they even show music videos anymore? I wouldn't know although they have an awards show. I have friends who will not let their young kids watch MTV. I also have friends who have banned BET for similar reasons. It is hard enough raising a kid without having such trashy stereotypes. Whatever happened to good music? Tell me one recent song that you can actually hum the melody. And it used to be that we listened to everything. I listened to Michael Jackson and Jackson Browne and Three Dog Night. Now kids are divided into rappers or cowboys or preps. It's really all kind of sad.Ellen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845981491726296767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-43096165220311209332011-07-31T11:03:04.851-07:002011-07-31T11:03:04.851-07:00It was great...not it's mostly reality TV crap...It was great...not it's mostly reality TV crap.
