Okay, this is just a little capsule review, because everything I have to say on the subject of the VH1 Classic channel is very straightforward. I am watching it right now and it is the best. Not only have they played some of my favorite old standbys (Love is a Battlefield, Summer of 69), but also even better stuff I've never seen on TV before... Jesus and Mary Chain, Camper Von Beethoven, etc. Now they are playing MY BLUE THUNDER by Galaxie 500, which made my jaw drop. I can't believe it. Wait, now it's over and they are playing Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. I am going to watch this channel all the time. Sorry this review is not more interesting. But in Service Journalism, one must balance entertainment with utility. It's not always about the sparkle.
