A memory:
My momma and I were driving home after watching "Edward Scissorhands" at the Redwood Shores Cinema. I was crying uncontrollably, after all it is a very emotional movie, especially for a 12 year old.
We pulled up to the train tracks that defined our neighborhood and downtown, a train was coming so we stopped. As the bars came down mom turned to me and, with tears in her eyes, said "well, Pearl Jam is on MTV Unplugged tonight so don't be too sad."
That evening I watched Eddie Vedder write pro-choice on his arm and then fall off his stool. I was entranced and in love.
Kurt Cobain's last performance on film was on MTV unplugged.
Now I see that MTV is no longer.
Now we get "16 and pregnant" and "skins"
So what can kids see on tv to expose them to music?
