"MTV is everything it wasn't born to be. It was born to be a music channel. It is now a reality-TV safe haven. It's a pathetic excuse for a music channel.
Let's change the name to the more appropriate "BTV"--Bad Reality Television."
We even have a teeth grill shop in Morristown. How modern. Sorry, make that "grillz". No shizzle, dizzle.
I don't even see/hear decent videos or music on M2 or any of their variants. In the homemade world of YouTube, there are better videos, more of them and lots of classics too. Like this astonishing trio of Derek and the Dominoes, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins.
Buggering up perfectly good teeth with inlays, perfectly good skin with tats, and perfectly good noses with sparkling studs.
ReplyDeleteMonkey see, monkey do. Who's having the kids?
Trends set by bad neighborhoods, nationalized by more centralized media conglomerates, aped by latch-key suburban kids.
Just cash your checks and listen to your Guy Lombardo.
I have a tattoo. Took me twenty years to work up the courage to get it at a little shop that had good reviews in New Orleans. It's no longer there, a victim of Katrina.
ReplyDeleteIt's the Eye of Ra.
I love it. No piercings (other than ears) just because that's not my thing.
MTV hasn't been good since JJ and Alan Hunter left.
Showing my age here.
Reality killed the Video Star.
well now you've told on yourself about that tattoo .... the Eye of Ra is it?
ReplyDeleteand where is it?
Nothing too out there. It's on the inside of my right ankle.
ReplyDeleteIt was my 35th birthday present to myself. I would have preferred a Porshe, but .. oh well.
I work in the news biz. Ain't a lot of money there, as you well know.
nope, just money in the Owning a Media Company biz.
ReplyDeletei have been pondering a tattoo for years and the only image that constantly makes me smile is that little one-eared rabbit dude from Matt Groening's "Life Is Hell" comic strip.
MTV hasn't been good since it cancelled 120 Minutes and Yo! MTV Raps!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have three tattoos.
I guess I'm showing my age here, too. ;)
Seriously, though. Tattoos are hawt, Newscoma.
Joe, perhaps you could fashion yourself a new grill out of your aluminum hat?
The Matt Groehning tattoo would be wonderful, Joe. I used to have all those books and would laugh my butt off.
ReplyDeleteTits, I'm thinking about another. A friend of mine who has sleeves is trying to get met to get "Alice In Wonderland's" Mad Hatter from the first edition. He saw me reading it one day, (one of my favorites) and said it would suit me. I have no idea why. I don't think I'd look good with a skull with snakes coming out of the eyes or something like that.
I have an anchor.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Bongo and the Mad Hatter would both make totally bitchin' tattoos.
I happened talk to this dude in a bar years ago who had an very nicely done tat that ran from his bicep on the inside of his arm down to his wrist which was a skull in black and white with a beard made of bright green leaves and red roses. it was really an amazing and well made tat.
ReplyDeleteas i was looking at it and saying "wow, that's cool" this other guy at the bar overheard and said very seriously "I got a Road Runner on my ass."
Good times.
Well, I have 2 tats.
ReplyDeleteOne on my back and one on the inside of my bicep.
JP has been pondering a tat for as long as I've known him.
He t'aint never gonna get hisself one.
The pierced ear was quite radical enough.
When I was in the 6th grade, I played the Mad Hatter in the school musical of Alice in Wonderland.
It so rocked to wear a top-hat.
tattle-tale!!!
