Just saw the video for "Paradise City" on VH1 Classic. *sigh* And now they're showing Iggy Pop!

I remember when VH1 was a channel for Micheal Bolton videos. In high school I wrote a brilliant poem-letter to Iggy Pop that landed me a small scholarship.

Wish I had saved the conversation I had last night where a friend called me a sugarbeet. It made me smile.

paradise city is one of the finest pieces of music created in the past century. and axl in white hot pants is genius. and i'm being totally serious.

that's exactly why I love that song

there is nothing like driving with paradise city turned up loud, smoking and singing along, flying down the highway. you're dead on about those hot pants too.

I'll have to agree on the Paradise City thing...one of those anthems from youth that'll always get me swayin side to side...where's my zippo...

And speaking of VH1, does anyone else mind the fact that they've turned into Mtv3? You'd think a company as big as viacom, with as many channels as they own, would do the smart thing and let every channel create and manage their own identity...but no...

back in the 80's my parents only let me watch VH1 (when they were around)and it was torture...VH1 was the "adult channel" while mtv was the wild rebel channel for the youth...now they both play the same fucking cheryl crow and nickelback videos...booo!

can we get a real music station again please? one we don't have to import from canada just to get some decent music?

VH1 is great. They're more music oriented than MTV is. MTV is all about programming,
fresh programming. You'd never find The Real World on VH1. A couple weeks ago they just played hours of Pink Floyd. You won't find that on MTV, no you won't.

it is more music oriented...but they do share a large number of videos...on the really bad days you'll see them play the same video at the same time...

there was a day when they didn't share any music, they had separate focuses...i liked those days better...but i do prefer VH1 over Mtv

music is so diverse that there should be more variety in what's played on music channels...

Heh, their transformation has been rather puzzling. What happened to Bolton and that weird Kenny G fellow?
