COMMENTS OF THE DAY!
TV POP SHOW WITH A LOT TO LEARN
From Giancarlo Rinaldi: "Top Of The
Pops because they concentrate on people
dancing and not on the music."
From Iain Newby: "No Limits - it's an
inappropriate name."
From Steve Bennett: The Tube. It has a
lot to unlearn. Too many films of Dire
Straits and it's getting too slick. It
has lost its vitality."
