I was just about to hit the record button on my computer and run over to the other room to lay down some guitar tracks when my email notification light started blinking. There was an email from Ari Vais. In it, he brought my attention to this from the New York Post Page 6:
""Everyone in the crowd was talking about MTV and the new conservatism over there," explained our source.
"They were burned so badly by Janet Jackson's Nipplegate at the Super Bowl that they have gone overboard. Everyone was in shock about what MTV did to Fountains of Wayne's new video."
The rock band recently submitted a video for a new song, "Mexican Wine," which featured a 10-year-old girl introducing the group on the video.
"MTV declined to play the video because the 10-year-old girl was saying the word 'wine,' " our source laughed.
A rep for MTV said: "We did ask Fountains of Wayne to make edits to their [original] video and now it's in rotation." The new video does not feature the little girl."
Incredible. MTV has lost it. Of all the possibly offensive things that they do air - somehow they think that a 10-year-old-girl can't say the word "wine" while introducing a song called "Mexican Wine". I have a hard time believing it. Is it really true?
Thanks, Ari.
