I've sent MMUSA a hundred letters over the past year.

They can all go to hell.

Thats the only reason I got a satalitte and now its gone :cry:

Dedicate Live is THE WORST show ever. I'd rather watch TRL than "OMG! Can U read this? Ummm.......I'll see U 2nite. LOL, this is sooooooo cool! Luv U!!!!!!!!"
GAG. Even when they play good videos in the background I can't watch it.

I guess my only hope is that since they loved SOT so much that they'll give Innocent a chance and we'll be able to see it a few times at least.

Amen Starseed, Amen.

I won't give MMUSA a chance. I have never watched anything on that channel. I was too stunned last summer, I accidently stumbled upon Dedicate Live and wish I hadn't, and so I refuse to watch it.

When I went to Toronto last month, I went to Speakers' Corner and ranted about MMUSA. I know the people in Toronto have nothing to do with it, but I needed to get it off my chest. The people outside of the booth were giving me dirty looks when I came out... screw them.

I've always wanted to go into speakers corner. The funniest people are the ones who have no idea what it is and the ones from Quebec who yap away in french. Too bad I can't see it anymore. :cry:

Me and a bunch of friends got wristbands to get into muchmusic to go to an olp interview in 97 and we were so excited that we got wristbands that we went on speakers corner to announce it to everyone. Anyways, we put our loonie in and and there was a clock counting down 2 mintues. We thought it was counting down the time before they begin to record us, so we were there all deciding what to say and when the clock reached zero, we thought they were going to start taping us, and then we realized that it was actually recording us that whole time :oops:

lol. If I went in there I wouldn't know what to say, since I'm shy. Once at disney there was a thing where you could send a video email to someone. I did it and just stood there, not saying anything. The guy taping me was laughing and told me not to be shy. I ended up not being able to open it when I got home.

We need a revolution. Bring down big corporate music channels. :evil: We need to axe all the lame ass shows like dedicate live and some of the stupid events. Whatever happened to just playing music? Pure unadulterated music. And I wanna see more of Ed the Sock. Fromagge Fest is great and I don't even know if it was on this year. :mad: America doesn't have the same access to canadian bands and with mmusa straying away from Canada... :grr: I mean OLP didn't even play at the MMVA's. What's up with that???? :wtf: That's why I think that this s*&t needs to come to a screaching halt. Give us, the fans, what we wanna see. :thumbs:

I got in the booth, talked for about thirty seconds, and stared at the camera for about thirty seconds, chortled slightly at my stupidity, and continued on my rant.

My rant really made sense. I pretty much just kept repeating "It sucks so bad. It's so horrible. You Canadians have no idea what it is like."

I have never been on Speakers Corner but I have been on Much Music afew times.

I was on when I saw U2 last year. Rick put me on GO With THE FLOW
also last year when I was visiting Toronto I went to visit Rick( ivisit him whenever I am in Toronto) I was with my friend and we asked to have a video played on Much On Demand. We wanted to see HOPE. he told us to come back at 7ish and we will be able to request it live. SO we did and dedicated it to the CC and a few speical friends.

I was also interviewed by Brad Howe for the Music without Borders live.

I never saw any of these but people say they have saw me.

My friend took this wonderful picture of me walking out of Speakers Corner in June. Had I known that Much was going to disappear completely, I would have actually gone into the booth and ranted as well.

I walked past the Speakers Corner booth in Ottawa, and almost went into that one. I decided at that point that it was quite stupid.

Do you know why they still have Live at Muchmusic on? Because it's not much better than MMUSA. The good shows are all gone. Do you know they have the Wedge on at three in the morning? That is such an awesome show...

actually they don't have Live at Much on anymore. When they did, it waslive from Toronto and you had the VJ's. When I watched it the other day it was videoflow instead.
I miss much music and can't wait till I go to Toronto to see it agai. yeah.
Watch out Rick( GOD I just adore him) and I am meet George this time damn it. :love:

Live @ Much is the old videoflow. It's live in TO with the vjs and news from 3-4:30. Sometimes a band will come in, but for the most part it's just videos.
