“And so it was
Our beloved corporate gods
Claimed they created rock video
Allowing it to sink as low in one year
As commercial TV has in 25
“It’s the new frontier,” they say
It’s wide open, anything can happen
But you’ve got a lot of nerve
To call yourself a pioneer
When you’re too ***-**** conservative
To take real chances. “
—Dead Kennedys
I didn’t even realize this went on, being fully insulated from television. I hope these people meet their just demise.
