\"Night<\/a>Another musical influence is often overlooked. USA network used to run a 5 hour show on Friday and Saturday nights. It was kind of like a mix tape for my demographic. It featured music videos, cartoon, weird movies, interviews and concert footage and other stuff that I found appealing.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it made great backdrop viewing. It was on but not something you were actively watching. Other times, like during Iron Maiden Interviews, it was front and center.\u00a0A mix of humor, music and bizarreness meant that we were a perfect match. Here is another lost series<\/em> that I’d buy on DVD<\/p>\n

One evening, the show aired a segment about an animated post apocalyptical musical called Rock & Rule<\/em>. Anthropomorphic animals trying to get\u00a0a record deal and an aging recording artist turned producer trying to take over the world might not seem like Oscar material but the music was good. I wish they would have produced an official <\/em>movie soundtrack album.\u00a0 Fortunately I had recorded this stuff on my Betamax and was able to extract the audio for use in other venues.<\/p>\n
