Channel flipping or Ceca de ti
I was flipping channels last Saturday ended up on channel
14; Telefutura in my neighborhood. A show was on called "Pepsi
Musica". A lively paced show. Theme that week was rock/pop women
singers, singing in spanish, of course. They were in music video mode.
No degree of channel surfing was going to improve on it, so I stopped
and watched. Most of it was more pop than rock. I didn't mind not
following the plot lines, It was better that way. Car windshields golf
clubs flying shards of glass; clearly a love song.
One of them seemed much better than the rest a song called 'Ceca
de ti', which I think also exists in english as 'closer to you'. The
singer was a women named Thalia (not Thalia Zedek though). She must be
famous already. People who have dropped down to one name are always
famous, or immune to ridicule. Since that song seemed fine, I guess
she's famous.
The strange demise of WHFS-FM brought this back to mind - that was
DC's supposed alternative rock station. Changed into a modern latin pop
station during a commercial break earlier today. I thought about that:
which would I rather listen to Thalia or Korn? Turns out I'd rather
listen to Thalia. Besides the Format Doctrine has been dead for twenty
years. Long live the doctrine of formats.
