oh look, back when the MTV Video Music Awards were worth watching. I watched this that night, still have it on VHS. This was the most charged and hyper performance I've ever seen on the VMAs, what a great night. I remember seeing this & thinking we're going somewhere with this music today, we had a young prez in the White House, alternative/grunge was king, no internet, no cellphones, no reality tv, people were real....& gas was cheap.

1990s MTV= Music Television

Current MTV = Money Television

Two words: DAVE ABBRUZZESE!!!!!!

This song (and this performance) was the change of pearl jam into a rough band, disgusted with all the media and society in general; Eddie is so angry here, and I would say that he (or they) lost their moral virginity, which they had earlier in Ten.

Loved them then as I love them now, I've been along for the 20 year ride and they are still my favourite group!!!!

The people haven't changed.

It's a complicated issue with many factors. To put it simply, Producers and Record Execs have found an easier and cheaper method of churning out songs that will simultaneously get stuck in the listener's head.

There was always "MTV = Money Television"....the people changed, television just reflects it.
