I dont know if you have the box, but ive found, that you are probably
better off watching the box for videos. A goo dnumber of trimes you get
regularly crap,but its probably the only music video channel in my area
where you can see cool videos during the day. Today i saw broken homes
Tricky, hunter Bjork, and life in Mono during theday , garbage push it,
the kind of videos that should be on.. Not Cleopatra, and hanson!!!

Though to be honest, I think it was a good idea that Puffy and Page met.
I think the song was a good try.
