Okay, so you can obliquely connect _Square Pegs_ with something vaguely musical.

But lately I’ve noticed that VH1 is playing _The Godfather_. Explain **that**!

While surfing around this morning, I noticed that they scheduled videos from 7-10am, so I thought I would see what videos look like now days. The one I saw featured Justin Timberlake.

Hey, after that, bring on Charlie’s Angels.

Apparently you dorks don’t watch VH1 at the right time.I’ve been up early(4ish)and sat and watched “VH1 Cardio”,which is nothing BUT videos.I know from 7-10 am(my time)is a block of videos with only occasional bleeps from a ticker running across t he bottom of the screen.  
You need to stop crapping on VH1.At least they still PLAY music videos that are worth watching,unlike MTV and MTV2.

Actually, early mornings I’m switching between MTV and VH1. They seem to juggle with their videos.
