We were just coming off the road (Performer), and our manager said that I couldn't do it, as it might affect our potential label deals. Never happened, (though God knows we tried, right Bob?) and I landed up as a French host on the new Shopping Network. So there, Dinardo! rox Ah, the good old days! i remember wanting to try out as a VJ, as I’d done a few commercials and cable shows, and seemed pretty photogenic.

Those were some great times and a really fantastic gang of people at City... i probably spent most of my week wandering around the City building hauling fresh videos and artists over there... they could always count on me to get them a video if they needed a hole to fill for The New Music.. you're right in that it really was like a special club of music crazies....

I remember being stuck in traffic outside the Skydome after the McCartney concert in '89, and glancing over at the car beside me, and lo and behold it's Monika. She starts chatting me up about the concert, until her boyfriend at the time, George Logogianes, I think that's how you spell it, gave me a death stare, and tried to edge his car away to kill the vibe. I'm disappointed that there will be no big party, or even a retrospective of some sort. It was innovative in many ways, and very homegrown. I believe if Moses were still involved, the situation would be very different... Ohhhhhh, Monika Deol, I had such a crush on her.
