Don't Trust Snakes video pick

It may shock you to learn that despite my membership in the MTV Generation, I haven't watched very many music videos in the last 20 years or so. Mostly on "Beavis and Butt-Head," and even that was a decade ago. I suspect, without proof, that a lot of the best videos came out during the first few years of the medium, in the first half of the 1980s, when I was still watching a reasonable amount of MTV. Hard to pick a favorite video from that era, although the best moment in a video may well have been Bowie's Jesse Jackson line from "Jazzin' for Blue Jean". Classic.

Anyway, I ran across a very cool video tonight on iTunes. It has an enigmatic/escape theme that reminds me of certain of those classics from my youth. Check it out:

She Wants Revenge: "Tear You Apart" (directed by Joaquin Phoenix)

"Tear You Apart" is a great song. It tells the classic story of Boy Meets Girl, Boy Becomes Obsessed With Girl, Boy Wants Nothing More Than To Tear the Girl Apart.

Timeless.

A particularly classic story, I should think, if you live in Reno.

Hey! We here in Reno are NOT stalkers. We're just really, really passionate and really, really persistent.

I was trying for a divorce joke but I think it was just too much of a stretch.
