I know this is something I have been holding back. It is information that I can’t withhold forever, it is bound to come out sooner or later and it might as well come from me. Yes….
VH1 is channel 42 on the television here.
It was the first thing I checked and as a frontier reporter I can assure fellow VH1-o-philes that in the deepest darkest parts of Kerala; steeped in ritual, coconut oil and practically every know form of banana based comestible. You will find the briny warm nimbus of pre-packaged 14 minute segments of really awesome music!

On the same subject, the show I was watching was “VH1 classic” and while I was wondering if the only way to get oneself out of seventies polyester pants was by squeezing yourself out of them like toothpaste. There was a commercial break and then the show returned with unmistakable Casio keyboard on steroids beginning of a “Spice Girls” song. I think it is called “Spice up your life!”

I remember losing my appetite as a food-eating machine of a teenager to that song. So, I will leave you with a selected portion near paragraph 1 and the definition of “classic” from the dictionary that comes free with every 5 Kg bag of Surf Excel and leave you desperately clutching at an analogy that fits.

Maybe they meant Classic Nonsense, Deej! :)

In any case, we should write to them and tell them to _de-spice_ that playlist! ;)
