I hate MTV, and Van Halen
I can't find any of my favorites online: R. Meltzer's Creem review of Sticky Fingers; pretty much anything by Nick Tosches, but especially his book Country, The Biggest Music In America; or the liner notes by "A. Seltzer" for the garage-punk compilation Pebbles V. 2, though I did find these, er, nuggets:
These guys were the losers in a scene where Question Mark & the Mysterians were the winners; they were such bad news that even the likes of the Trashmen looked down on 'em.
My pick for the Grammy this year is "Green Fuz" by Randy Alvey & Green Fuz, which has to be the rottenest recording ever made but has more honest-to-Howard Cosell energy than anything the wimpy Sex Pistols ever dreamed of puking up.
"Green Fuz"

The list of shite I hate is a lot smaller than the list of stuff I like. I haven't watched it in decades, but I have MTV a lot to thank for some things. It was on 120 Minutes that I first saw so many great bands, like the Butthole Surfers. We didn't get access to any of that kind of music where I grew up in Clinton or Zachary any other way, and I was very thankful for being exposed to so much exotic stuff.
But thanks for sharing anyway, and for the TD link. I missed that when it came around.
