What is wrong with me? I don't watch any television. None. I have never had a single song that I love ruined (or at least severely compromised) by watching it play over some banal ad for deodorant or insurance. I used to watch tv but gradually drifted away when it started to be nothing but unreal reality shows and amateur hour talent contests. I can't say I miss it at all.
Chris, I was there when MTV started and I don't remember it being like that at all. There may have been some commercials, but if so they were few and far between and I don't remember any of them. All I remember is one really cool music video after another, for hours on end. Music videos were a totally new art form then; it was heaven for me and my slacker stoner friends.
