Ok, here's the deal. Ever wonder why MTV generally only shows little clips of videos during the day?? Well, it's because their core audience has the attention span of a mentally ill, hyperactive monkey! They can't sit still for more than 30 seconds, and they damn sure don't have the attention span to sit through an entire three to four minute music video!!! Not even for N Suck! 

The problem I have is when a band I like or a song I like makes its way to MTV. An example; PODs' "Southtown". This video is usually only on LATE at night (the only time I'll even consider watching MTV). BUT, somehow, I see more and more mindless drones going out to buy the CD, just to "..get that Southtown song, the video rocks!". They don't care about the band, they just want that f***ing song!!! 

They're are a couple other artists that I just can't listen to anymore because of MTV and there followers; Limp Bizkit and KoRn. Once upon a time, when MTV or radio wouldn't TOUCH either one of these bands I liked them...they were cool to me. Now? Well, somewhere along the way, KoRn sold out and forgot about the most important part of the business, THE MUSIC, and Fred Durst all of a sudden became the most self centered and egotistical human walking the planet!

I can listen to both of these bands first albums, but, not that much, because at some point I hear a song that someone just jumps up and says "I love that song!" and it makes me change to something else. I do that because five minutes earlier this same person had just gone through a steady progression of "The Thong Song" and the latest N Suck song. 

I'm not real sure what the point of this rant is...I'm sure you're thinking the same thing...but, basically, I'm trying to say that there is a TON of great music in the world that isn't on MTV 24/7..keep this in mind, just because Carson Daly never interviewed _________(put name on empty line), that doesn't mean they don't rock! 

Personally, I think Chris Rock said it best a couple years back when he said "Here Today, GONE
Today!" 

Of course, I could be wrong....
