My Lack of Television

People often ask why I don't watch TV. The answer is simple--I don't have time. For the first 10 years or so of my marriage I worked two jobs. Then when I gave one of them up to take a salaried job my work schedule became so erratic that I was never home enough get used to any show.

After playing music, opening up my own business took care of any free time I had left over. I don't have a rule about TV, I have just conditioned myself to not watch it much.

I found that I don't really miss it at all. My books are always there, no matter what time of day it is.

All that being said, I have been watching "Gone Country" with George Clinton in it for the last 3 weeks (a record for me). That guy is one of my all-time favorite musicians & I have had a blast watching him. As for the rest of the show, meh, it's ok. But George...there's a true star!

Check it out on CMT at 8pm on Saturdays.

One of these things is not like the other...

Television I Might Actually Watch

I usually don't watch television unless I just happen to have it on when I'm working at my computer. Even then it's most likely to be the news or something along those lines.

Yesterday Merle told me that there was a show called "Gone Country" on a country music channel, correction, the country music channel. She said that it's a bunch of folks put in a house a la' MTV style (can't remember the name of that show either). I have no idea what the plot is, or if there is one at all. It's television, it doesn't have to have a point...

They're going to have a new episode & George Clinton is going to be on it. Yep, the original funky dude himself, holed up with a bunch of other folks who I could care less about. Finally, TV worth watching! I just found out that it comes on at 8pm. Now if I can just figure out which channel CMT is on I'll have it made. Hang on George, I'll be there! Don't call me tonight.

I love that guy.
