Nearly 30 years later, the fans remain and memories of this channel have formed an important place in 80s nostalgia. Life On The V: The Story Of V66 is the story of that channel, V66. MTV had premiered on cable TV in 1981, but cable was only just starting to become available in New England by the mid-1980s. Massachusetts radio personality John Garabedian (who was known on WORC, WMEX, WGTR, and WBCN among others) came up with a plan to launch a TV channel to function as music television for the Boston-based college crowd. His goal was to take the Music Video TV concept and make it live (real time) and local (catering to Boston's interests). Along with the help of radio legend Arnie “Woo Woo” Ginsburg (a veteran of WBOS, WMEX and WRKO among others), radio veteran Roxy Myzal, and television veteran David Beadle, Garabedian prepared to launch this TV channel on WVJV-TV channel 66.

  • Real Rock: Authenticity and Popular Music in Canada, 1984-1994
    REAL ROCK: AUTHENTICITY AND POPULAR MUSIC IN CANADA, 1984-1994 PAUL DAVID AIKENHEAD A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN HISTORY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO SEPTEMBER 2018 © PAUL DAVID AIKENHEAD, 2018 Abstract This dissertation investigates the production and reception of English-Canadian rock music sound recordings, from 1984 to 1994, in relation to mutually constitutive understandings of race, ability, gender, sexuality, class, age, and place. It examines how different forms of domestic Anglo rock served to reinforce or subvert the dominant ideologies undergirding the social order in Canada during the late twentieth century. This study analyzes a multifaceted discourse about authenticity that illustrates the ways in which a host of people – including musicians, music journalists, record label representatives and other professionals from across the music industries, government administrators, and consumers – categorized recorded sound, defined bodily norms, negotiated commerce and technology, and evaluated collective communication in Canada. This study finds that the principle of originality fundamentally structured the categorization of sound recordings in Canada. Originality, according to rock culture, encompassed the balancing of traditionalism with innovation. This dissertation determines that Whiteness organized English-Canadian rock culture in terms of its corporeal standards. White bodies functioned as the norm against which racialized Others were compared and measured. This study also shows how the concept of autonomy encouraged the proper negotiation of commerce and technology in an increasingly neoliberal political and economic condition. Independence of will fostered acceptable behaviour. Finally, this dissertation reveals that the rock status of a given concert rested upon the actions of the performers as well as the composition and reactions of ticket holders in the audience.

  • The Replacements Bible
    THE REPLACEMENTS bible version 1.4 this is an document of copyrighted material for educational/research purposes only You are encouraged to utilize the Bookmarks for navigation Brats in Babylon THE REPLACEMENTS By Ralph Heibutzki Goldmine, October 29, 1993 Saturday, January 18, 1986: After a trying time with the people of NBC's Saturday Night Live, Replacements guitarist Bob Stinson decides to cut loose and make himself at home in his New York City hotel room. "We got there at the [Omni] Berkshire [Hotel], and all our rooms got flowers and fruit—it's like, 'bad move, guys,’” he says recalling the accident. By the time Stinson finishes making himself at home, it costs $1,000 to replace a broken window, door and phone. The carnage isn't major, but doesn't endear the Replacements to Saturday Night producer Lorne Michaels, who vows, “No band from Warner Brothers is playing on my show again unless you guys pay for it.” Warner Brothers antes up without fuss. "We were a troublesome bunch,” says Stinson. "They picked us up in the stock limousine. They knew we were going to immediately start drinking, which we did. And they wouldn’t let us off the floor — ‘Anything you need, let us know’- and it’s like, ‘Okay, gimme about four (studio) pages and I'll feel better.' Yeah, we were totally abusive of their privileges.” Later that night, Stinson and company—his bassist/brother, Tommy, singer/guitarist, Paul Westerberg; and drummer Chris Mars—throw timing and tuning aside during "Bastards Of Young" and "Kiss Me On The Bus” in a classic clip reflecting a long day of mismatched sensibilities and mutual hostility.
