Last night I was channel surfing and bumped into the American Music Awards ceremony... I shun these presentations because it's always full of the usual Pop (I say this lightly) R&B "flavor-of-the-month" drivel...But I stayed only because the announcer kept teasing to "stay tuned for an unseen-in-40-years Beatles' video"... After suffering through the likes of Usher, Outkast and a cast of other "flavors" finally the moment came to view the "unearthed" Beatles classic... Much to my dissapointment it was a clip that is easily viewed on "The Beatles Live" video issued by Sony a few years ago (it is yet to debut on DVD altho' I've seen dubbed copies on Ebay)... To make matters worse Jimmy Kimmel, the show's host, joked "Boring..." as the camera came back to him after the video clip (to which the audience booed and Kimmel's joke fell flat on its face)... Anyway I felt like a fool to have trusted that a highly glossy and commercial joke award show like the AMA could be serious about presenting a "rare unearthed" Beatles clip...
Cheers
Miguel
