QUAD/ HAIR- BEHIND THE MUSIC



L. BIRD:
""""How do you suppose VH1 gets the idea to do these BTM episodes related to
movies and musicals and such?  Think they're approached by the producers?
It sort of looks like part of a promotion campaign.""

"I think your right.  The only way VH1 would have a reason to make a Behind
the music is if it the subject/or Band had a recent project and or some
musical relevance to the current musical scene.  When they did the episode
on the Who it was partially because they were on tour with Quadrophenia at
the time. (as well as being the most interesting band on the list)
   When the producer presents his idea for an episode they have to know how
they are going to end the piece.  Like saying "the who are still on the
road" or  for example AcDc are currently on tour, and will continue to
etc..... etc.  It has to end on a relatively relevant note otherwise why
would they make it.  They wouldnt do it just to document a certain band for
historical significance.  Thats not their style.

Strange frequencies is a pretty well done show kind of a tales from the
crypt approach but more intelligent.
