I don't watch MTV anymore, and only watch VH1 to see "I love the 80's". I download the videos I want and skip the BS. I still have to dl JC's video, tho. I'll do that tonight.

No, I like titties very much, but I don't find them to be a substitute for quality music video art. As for rap, there is some of it that I find appealing and revealing, but most of it, to me, simply lacks the preceding letter "c".

In all seriousness, what's changed? Hasn't the "underground", "counterculture", or just not mainstream music been "better" for some time now?
Yes, although I would be hard pressed to consider Johnny Cash as being underground, counterculture or non-mainstream. I think MTV seriously let us know last night that they are all about out with the old, no matter how artistically deserving.

It isn't about art, it is about money, flash, glitz...appearances over substance, every time, without exception. And people wonder why the world is so fucked up...

Thank the gods that The Cellar denizens are largely about substance and little about appearances.

How about The Circus, as in for children of all ages.
