My Canadian wife would know more about Bryan Adams than I would. I only remember “Cuts Like a Knife” and “This Time”, which was in heavy rotation on MTV, probably due to the legs of one of the actresses in the video. Those early ‘80s videos had some of the most stunning women seen anywhere. Those women probably didn’t have a lot of acting talent, but didn’t need it for the video cheesecake.
I never watched MTV type music videos. I always thought of them as fine arts turned kinetic. What I was trying to do was create stories, so my interest has always been more into how to outline lyrics to make layers of meaning in videos. And I’d have been more interested in video beefcake, than cheesecake, but missed that, too.
