YouTube Banter! The Consequences Of Gossiping!
Form this video celebrating the 30th anniversary of MTV’s first broadcast, when a technical glitch wiped out a video of REO Speedwagon performing the song “Take It On The Run“. The fun starts at 3:45 in:
One comment gives the play-by-play of the performance.
Yup, it went something like this:
Heard it from a friend? who, heard it from a friend who, heard you were OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…………….
On the third page, another commenter describes his stepfather’s reaction:
ah, I can still remember my stepfather telling me after REO Speedwagon’s video dropped out, “Let that be a lesson? to you-that’s what happens to people who gossip”
A teachable moment!
Wish I could say Happy Birthday to MTV on its 30’th birthday, but it’s still being run by meth addicts or something!
And it’s too bad. Because with good band videos so cheap to produce now, there would be a wealth of material out there of bands just waiting to be exposed to a larger audience. Oh well, we do have YouTube, but it’s not the same as having one or two channels with hundreds of thousands of eyes focused in one musical / video direction
