Max Headroom was interesting I thought. The guy poked his finger into some powerful eyes. Remember "Blank Reg?" He was an old fart who had a TV station in his mobile home.

A blank was someone who wasn't on the govt. rolls, didn't have a credit card or get govt. handouts and didn't pay taxes.

The show only lasted 4 episodes and I always thought it was because it was a little too scathing on the whole concept of network TV itself.

Keytars rule too:



Kansas as in the state or as in the band? Either way, I dig, but you can have the chick.
