-Cher will likely continue to try to look 27 until the day that she dies.
-Puddle of Mudd is perhaps the most terrible, least original, piece of shit band in existance right now.  That lead singer IS Fred Durst with long hair and a different colored ballcap.
-At times, Pink looks strikingly similar to a tropical bird.
-Victoria's Secret will eventually be a soft-core pornographic publication/channel.
-Is that Paul McCartney's new video or a Tommy Hilfiger commercial?
-They gave the Spiderman theme to that guy from Nickelback and his shady, bearded, black-haired cohort??!!!  Please.
-There is an inversely proportional relationship between Mary J. Blige's popularity and the quality of her songs.
-Is Michelle Branch hot?  Talented?  18?  Anyway, she looks silly playing a sunburst Les Paul.
-'Lodi Dodi' is a Coors Light comercial?! That's revolutionary, folks - gangsta rap licensed for commercials!
-I have loved Sheryl Crow in the past, but I think that dating Kid Rock has contaminated her ability.  It seems she will join Cher in attempting to look 27 until she dies.
-Is that the guy from Remy Zero, the guy from Vertical Horizon, the lead guitarist from the Wallflowers, or Marc Pisapia?
-Alicia Keys looks like a really angry person.
-It's only a matter of time before Character has a song in a luxury car commercial.
-How are there still new, full-production Aaliyah videos coming out?  Is she living in the Andes with 2Pac?
-The new Korn song, 'Here to Stay', is hands-down the heaviest song I have ever heard, and it features a disco beat through most of the song.
-Trik Turner.  Wow.
-Some music biz moguls caused Jewel to have a 'horse-riding accident', then reprogrammed her with a Latin accent, blonde hair, and straight teeth, and re-named her Shakira.
-I've always known that I didn't like the Goo Goo Dolls, but only in the last year have I realized that they ARE the Replacements with a stylist.
-The Crackermouths have taken over.
-Where are the Features?

Wow. Very interesting analysis. As the years go by, MTV is slowly replacing any sort of credible music-related programming with utter crap. My fear is that the Features are simply too good to be on MTV. They're songs are too smart, too well written. If the current trend of MTV is any indication, the Features own talent will be a curse to their commercial success in the realm of music videos.

You know you have problems, with both money and alcohol, when you find yourself shoving beers down your pants outside a Features show.
