Not Missing MTV

Remember when awards shows on MTV were required viewing? The good old days. The 2008 VMA's were only redeemed by Russell Brand. To US audiences he's a newbie, but I saw him host a British Awards show and he was just as good. But he was up against the most boring audience ever. They must have thought they were at the Grammy's. Who were these people? The rest of the show provided little of interest, because MTV provides little of interest. It was supposed to be about the music. Now it's about the network.
