I started this little thing around the time of 911. Unlike most people my posts are still 100% free. If you want to tip me fine. I have expanded my reach considerably. Remember that TV show, "The Monkees" ? Yeah.
Milli Vanilli was 30 years ago now. That act literally replaced the singers with better looking people for marketing reasons.
A baby born the day The Monkees formed would be retiring now. That wildly popular band was literally created for a TV show.
This problem has been going on for a long time.
Considering that the Monkees TV show was mostly one big music video, that should have been no surprise.
