And yes, ever

"Request Hour" is outstanding! I sometimes wonder about people who request "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" or ZZ Tops "Legs". Aren't they overplayed? I work in a college frathouse and I thein they call these videos in to choose their retro wardrobe for the

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE VH1 Classic... but is it me or does it seem they play something by either Peter Wolf or the J. Geils Band like EVERY show?

I haven't had cabel tv for about 3 years, but last time I went to my mom's house I brought 3 blank tapes and ran her Classic VH-1 at SLP speed and filled up the 3 tapes. Not the highest quality but it's the first time I'd seen the video for "Homosapien"
