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.
