Occasionally, they play that creepy Tom Petty video where he&#8217;s the Mad Hatter that scared the crap out of me on Friday Night Videos as a child.<\/p>\n<p>But today it was no fun.  Because I saw this:<br \/>[youtube http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FcEc-_E0ylE&amp;rel=1]<\/p>\n<p>Okay, my first question is: Stevie Nicks, what did I ever do to make you so angry?  Why are you staring me down, like I&#8217;m the one what done you wrong?<\/p>\n<p>My television&#8217;s horizontal hold actually went out in the middle of this video, like the TV was either nobly sparing me from seeing it or, alternately, just couldn&#8217;t take anymore and decided to pass out for a while.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly: Why was there a time on earth when this kind of video was okay?  I take no responsibility for the 80&#8217;s.  See, I was merely a babe in swaddling clothes when Regan took office, so I had no control over the craziness that was the 1980&#8217;s.  90&#8217;s, sure, I&#8217;ll take the rap for some of that.  &#8220;Rico Suave&#8221;?  Yeah, I bought that single.  But not Snow&#8217;s &#8220;Informer&#8221;.  Never &#8220;Informer&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>So, people who had a choice to live and purchase music and be the force your generation in the 1980&#8217;s, what the hell were you guys thinking?  Who kept encouraging Stevie Nicks to make these kinds of videos?  And wear those kinds of skirts?<\/p>\n<p>Also, who is responsible for Van Halen at this time?  I need to speak with them immediately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You know, sometimes, it&#8217;s fun to watch VH1 Classic.
