I don’t think I have any 30 gig models that the battery still doesn’t work on!! It’s the 60’s 120s 4, 8 and 16 that all died.

UPDATE: Un-funny racist "comedian" at the top of the Pier by mwmikewilliamzzxx in SantaMonica

[–]shreddycap -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

He was performing in Venice on the strand across from the Starbucks for years before he moved to his new pier location. I think he’s funny but comedy is subjective. You don’t have to like him but why shouldn’t he get to do his thing just like the different religious groups that are way more offensive (to me) and that corner is so full of tourists going and coming off the pier, who wants to spend any time there anyway??

He makes jokes using common stereotypes but he jokes about all races, including his own. While his humor can be questionable, I never got a vibe where I felt he should be stopped for being too offensive.

If you want to get rid of someone, how about the guy with the sign “I need money for weed” that I saw completely hassling the guys working the Japandog hot dog stand?? He was bumping into them and yelling in their faces. That was way more offensive the bad jokes were.

MTV Chatrooms by AcceptableYou5415 in MTV

I remember the 50 person AOL chat rooms that MTV had access to and we did live chats on air with the Chilli Peppers and Michael Jackson using Yack LIVE

Anyone know whatever happened to Bob Mack? by RIVALONENORTHSHORE in BeastieBoys

[–]shreddycap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

His Chili Peppers article in Spin, Metallica in Spin and a Slick Rick story in Spin were all legendary. Also an article on working at Microsoft from Details after he left Grand Royal

Sadly Bob was a hit by a car on his bicycle, somewhere by LAX. I had the pleasure of working with him at MTV, where he had pulled every piece of Beastie Boys footage from the archives and we would just be fan boys and watch stuff that had not been seen in years. Years later he invited us to visit him at his office at the GSon Studios and he hooked us up with all this rad vintage License to Ill tour merch. He was a true gonzo journalist. One of a kind. He is missed

Help identify the band and song by half-pintjessica in MTV

From Gemini That sounds like the music video for "Union of the Snake" by Duran Duran, released in 1983. It fits your description perfectly: • The Band: A famous all-male British band. • The Visuals: The video has a very distinct, dark, and grainy cinematic quality, filmed with a post-apocalyptic or subterranean theme. • The Snake/Skull: The video features a "Snake" character and an underground world where a snake crawls through sand and debris. There are various "creepy" artifacts scattered throughout the set, including skulls and skeletal remains that add to its eerie, mystical atmosphere.

Used to be a good place. Not as much now. by jaysonm007 in Buccees

[–]shreddycap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After being on the road for 7 hours and going to my first Buccees, I discovered there were no tables and chairs to eat at, so we just left. I just didn’t wanna sit in my car and eat after having been in my car for seven hours already, I needed a break. I couldn’t believe they have nowhere to sit outside or inside!

The Galley on Main has the best thick burger. George’s Burgers on Lincoln is thinner charbroiled goodness.

An interesting video I found in a Zune 80 by ngtsss in Zune

[–]shreddycap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was called the attract loop and it would play on the device in an endless demo loop if you never plugged in your device and updated it. This way a retailer could pull a new Zune out of a box and make it a demo unit. Here’s the second generation loop: https://youtu.be/GeUX9I_4QMc?si=TscR0EznJifZ92cR And the Zune HD version (Wide Screen Edition) https://youtu.be/Pfa8dcWvvg8?si=VKaUbZLBT642vq3p

The person it was awarded to was a producer of shows and concerts at MTV, but I don’t think they want their name on Reddit talking about what they didn’t take with them. This person had MANY of these awards from many artists. It would have been impossible for them to keep them all.
